When conducting scientific experiments, the researcher manipulates an "independent variable" (i.e., some physical parameter that can be controlled) in order to measure the effects of such manipulation on a "dependent variable" (i.e., the results of changing the physical parameter of interest). For example, one could lower the temperature in a refrigerator (the temperature being an independent variable) and wait to observe when water left in the refrigerator turns to ice (the change from liquid water to the solid form being the dependent variable). Thus, the change in the dependent variable depends on the manipulation of the independent variable.
The independent variable is the variable you change, the dependant variable is what changes as a result of what you change.
An independent variable is a variable that isn't affected by something else. A dependent variable is a variable that's affected by changes in the independent variable.
Independent variable is the variable that you change in an experiment.
a variable that depend on the independent variable
An independent variable is a variable that isn't affected by something else. A dependent variable is a variable that's affected by changes in the independent variable.
The independent variable is the thing that stays the same throughout the problem.
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.
The independent variable is what you measure and the dependent variable is what you change
Independent Variable, its the variable that you can manipulate or change.
It means that they are not supposed to be together.
Independent variable, is variable that the experimenter manipulates
An independent variable is something that you, as the experementer, change to try and get a set of results. E.g, in an electrical ciurcut you may change the voltage to see how it affects resistance. Voltage is the independent variable as your changing it, resistance is the dependant variable as it changes due to the change in the independent variable.
