Best Answer

No.

If you are studying waiting time, for example at a bank, the waiting time could be the dependent variable with the number of open windows as the independent variable.

What variable is always graphed as the independent variable?

x is used a lot to represent an independent variable. When time is the independent variable t is often used as well.


Why time is always taken on horizontal axis?

The horizontal axis is reserved for the independent variable in a function. Time is always an independent variable in time-based functions. However, duration can be dependent. It depends on what's being plotted.


Which quantity is almost always an independent variable?

There is no such quantity. Time is often cited as an example but it is always the dependent variable when studying the periodicity of pendulums, or waiting time in queues.


What axis do you read time?

Time is almost always an independent variable. Typically, independent variables are plotted along the horizontal axis.


What is one independent variable?

Time is often an independent variable.


Why is time plotted on the horizontal axis in an experiment?

It is because time is often, though not always, an independent variable.


What is the diffrence between dependent variable and independent variable?

the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.


Independent variable in measuring heart rate?

Time is the independent variable.


What is an independent variable in math?

An independent variable is a factor that doesn't rely on anything, unlike the dependent variable (which relies on the independent variable). The most common independent variable is time.


What is a Factor that is deliberately changed in a experiment?

the anwer is a variable( the thng that will change over time in the experiment


The independent variable is the factor adjusted by the experimenter?

It can be but not always. The experimenter may just have to take the independent variable as it happens.


What is a dependent variable that is in an experiment?

The independent variable in the experiment is the variable that occurs on its own and does not need anything for it to change, this that is why it is Independent e.g. years, time etc So the Dependant variable is the variable that relies on the independent variable to change and is normally represented on the Y axis. For example, if you had a graph that showed the amount of miles a car travelled over a certain time, the time is always going on and wont stop so its independent. The miles travelled depended upon the time, if the time did not go on the amount of miles travelled also couldn't go on, so it was dependant on the time to change for it to change. So it is the dependant variable.
