Experimental design is a systematic approach used in research to determine the effects of one or more independent variables on a dependent variable. It allows researchers to establish cause-and-effect relationships through controlled conditions and manipulation of variables. The design includes components such as randomization, control groups, and replication, which help to minimize bias and improve the reliability of results, making it essential in quantitative research methodologies.
