Expert Solution

Here confounding variable is used for a contaminating factor in the context of quantitative studies. which is also known as extraneous variables. A confounding factor in a study is a variable which is related to one or more of the measurements in the study. Confounding factor may adversely affect relation between independent variable and dependent variable. It will leads the researcher to analyse the results incorrectly. A confounding factor may mask the real association or falsely demonstrates the association. If confounding factor are not meassured, study result may be biased.
