what’s the difference between a confounding and extraneous variable? Or are they the same thing? Caus I looked it up and I can’t find a clear difference

So extraneous variable are variables that can be changed, but confounding variables are found out after the experiment is done, hence cannot be changed?

[reyncrisostomo]

all extraneous variables are confounding variables is that statement correct?
