something like time. Like say you want to work out how much water will be in a trough that has water coming in at 2 L per minute - the amount of water in the trough is dependent on the time at which you are trying to calculate the volume of water. so in this case time is an independent variable and the amount of water is the dependent variable... hope that helps. :)

What are the independent and depent variables?

You can tell which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable by changing the equation into an "if/then" statement. Example: y = 3x In this example, x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable. If you give me x, I will tell you y. If x = 1, then y = 3 If x = 2, then y = 6 So you give me the independent variable, and then I will be able to determine the dependent variable.

What is changed, either by you or the different results. The mother-category of the IV and DV. (independent VARIABLE, and dependent VARIABLE) :)


What best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and an independent variable in a scientific investigation?

The independent variable is what you are changing in the experiment to get varied results. The dependent variable is the result of what you have changed. So the dependent variable depends on the independent variable. For example, if you are experimenting with the effect of water on height of a plant, the different amounts of water that you give the plant is the independent variable. The height of the plant that you measure as the result of the water is the dependent variable.


What is a dependent or an independent variable?

An independent variable is something that you can change in your experiment. A dependent variable is something that changes depending on what your independent variable is. Example: You have two plants. You water one every day and you water the other one every other day to see how fast they'll grow. Your independent variable is water, because you can change how much you give to the plant. Your dependent variable are the plants, because they'll change depending on how much water you give them.


How you can apply dependent and independent variable in your daily life give some examples?

well dependent is when you are are NOT independent so in your daily life you could just have S.E.X and then that is how you become non independent


What is a variable that can be controlled?

It is called an independent variable. For example, you give some people dark chocolate and other no chocolate at all. You measure their well being. The amount of chocolate is something YOU control, so it is the independent variable. The well being depends on the chocolate. We would expect more dark chocolate would make much happier people. That would be the dependent variable.

In a memory test where a subject must recall the faces that they have seen previously What is the independent and dependent variable?

An independent variable is the one manipulated by the experimenter while the dependent variable is an outcome measure. For your example, a logical dependent variable would be how many faces are correctly recalled. However, we can't tell from your description what the independent variable is. It might be something like the type of faces shown, the number of faces shown, the delay between viewing and recalling the faces, or something along those lines. If you can provide more information, I can give you a better answer.
