1.Quantitative Data: "Static" Numeric and Verifiable Data.
2.Qualitative Data: Observable, categorical and subjective Data.
3.P Value: The probability of results of the experiment being attributed
to chance. Utilized to test the hypothesis. Lower P value indicates
results are impacted by intervention.
4.Independent Variable: Has an affect on the dependent variable "what

6.Confounding Variable: obscures effect of another variable

states.
ex. Patient is diabetic or non diabetic
