Random
This type of variable is related to dependent and independent variables, it mediates, relates masks, or affects their relation
Mediation/moderation variable

- test if it is true or false
- adds applicable knowledge if prove
Are all characteristics of:
Hypothesis
This type of hypothesis includes the conceptual hypothesis and the variables
