a circumstance that was not controlled in the directing of the experiment; an ambiguous variable that caused an effect to happen. One of the conditions necessary for confounding to occur is that the confounding factor must be distributed unequally among the groups being compared.

Confounding occurs when two variables systematically vary in correlation with another related variant (Kovera, 2010, p. 2).…
