Question

Explain concomitant variable with example

Answer 1

A variable can take different values whereas a constant has a fixed value. For example, the lengths of an equilateral triangle can have any values. Therefore, length of an equilateral triangle is a variable. The number of sides of a hexagon is 6, which is fixed. Therefore, the number of sides of a hexagon is a constant. The letters, l, m, n, p, x, y, z, etc., are used to denote variables

Answer 2

A concomitant variable is a variable, in which we observe during the course of our research or statistical analysis, but we cannot control it and it is not to be focus on our analysis.

Example: Higher education always leads to higher income.

Higher education is an independent variable.

Higher income is dependent variable.

Better occupation is Intervening variable.

This is casually affected by education and its affects income.
