The wages of an employee depend on the time worked. Time is the independent variable that varies among employees, and the wages are calculated directly from the total time worked. Thus wages are dependent on time worked. [taken from Wikipedia2006I]
In a call centre, the number of customers serviced per hour, depends on the number of agents, and average service time per customer. In this case number of customers is a dependent variable, entirely dependent on the other two independent variables namely agents, and average service time.
What else can I help you with?
Give you an example of independent variable?
time
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.
Can you give an example of variable in a science project?
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.
What is an example of an independent variable in an experiment?
The independent variable represents the input or causes, or are tested to see if they are the cause.
Differentiate of dependent and independent variable?
The dependent variable depends on the independent variable for its values as for example in the straight line equation: y = 2x+1 It is y that is the dependent variable and x the independent variable.
What are the dependent and independent variables for making a cake?
An example of an independent variable is how many people to feed. An example of a dependent variable is how many eggs.
What is a non example of independent variable?
dependent variable
What role does independent and dependent variable play in controlled experiments?
The independent variable in an controlled experiment is what you are changing (for example, amount of water or sunlight a plant gets). The dependent variable changes because of the independent variable. Its the outcome of the independent variable.
Where is the independent variable and the dependent variable on the line graph?
The dependent variable is on the vertical y axis and the independent on the horizontal x axis In the equation for example y = 3x then y is dependent on the independent variable x
What does independent variable mean in math?
An independent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure. For example, someone's age might be an independent variable.
