In an experiment, the purpose for manipulating the independent variable is to help? A. Establish the direction of the relationship by showing that the dependent variable changes when you manipulate the independent variable B. Ensure that any effects of selection or other randomization failures are minimized C. Establish the direction of the relationship and help eliminate the third variable problem D. Eliminate the third variable problem because you decide when to manipulate rather than waiting for the variable to change
