Independent variable and dependent variable in science?
The independant variable is the variable being manipulated or changed. The dependant variable is the results. For example, seeing how different amounts of steroids affect someones body weight. The independant would be the steroids because you are changing the amount. The dependant is the body weight because those are the results you are getting back.
Can you change an independent variable?
Yes, independant variables are the variables that are changed in an experiment to observe the results, called the dependant variable.
What are the 3 types of variable?
the three (3) types of variables are: - controlled - manipulated - responding.
What is variable define dependent independent variable?
Take the expression y = f(x) where f is a function relating y in terms of x. x is the input - the independant variable. y is the output - the dependant variable because it's value depends on x.
What does a scatter plot suggest?
A scatter plot plots two variables against each other, allowing the 'researcher' to easily see if there is a correlation between the dependant variable and the independant variable with relation to their data set.
What two variables does a scatter plot have?
independant-influences the other variable-x axis dependant-is influenced by the dependant variable-y axis example as johnny jumps from a higher distance, he falls faster. independant=distance from the ground dependant=the speed of the fall
Is a paper cup a dependent variable?
A dependant variable is one that is dependant on something else, e.g if I change the temperature (the independant variable) the rate of reaction increases(the dependant variable). A paper cup is not a variable as it doesn't change in value - it is equipment
Which axis holds the independent variable?
An independant variable should always be on the x-axis of a graph and the dependant variable on the y-axis.

What is a independent vairable?
The object you are testing in a hypothesisThe Independant or manipulated variable is what 'I' or you are changing....if you are measuring the effect of fertilizer on plant height, the Independant variable is the presence/absence of fertilizer.
What is the part of a experiment that can be changed called?
the thing you change is the dependant variable - it's thing that DEPENDS on the thing your measuring. (independant variable) eg - if you change the length of the wire and measure the voltage after each 10cm, the independant variable (measuring) is the voltage, the dependant variable (changing) is the length of the wire, and the control variable (keeping the same) can be the material of the wire, the batteries etc. you get the point.hope that helped...
The factor that may change in response to the manipulated variable is called the?
controlled variable
What does the independent and dependent vairable mean?
The independant is the thing you are changing and the dependant is the measure
What does independent variables in science?
Hello, Well what you would be looking for is what an independent variable means. Assuming you understand what a variable is and a dependant variable is, here goes: An independant variable is the variable which you change in an experiment. Note you can only have 1 variable that can change in an experiment and more than one independent variable will result in an unfair experiment. An example is an experiment looking at the growth of trees in the Dark, in a dimly lit room and in the direct sun. The independant variable is the location of the experiment, because this is what is being changed. Simply: The Independent Variable is the variable that is independent and you change. The dependant variable is what changes when the independent variable changes. To conduct an experiment, you will have an independent variable and change that to see how the dependant variable changes with the independent one. Hope I Helped
What are all the variables?
There are 'constant variables' , 'independant variables' and 'dependent variables' Constant Variable- things in the experimment that should be kept the same Independant variables- something that can be varied in an experiment Dependant variable- something that can be affected
What are the 3 types of variable?
the three (3) types of variables are: - controlled - manipulated - responding.
