the experimental variable is like the independent variable, which is the only thing you can change in a science experiment, and the dependent variables are the things that stay the same.

What is the difference between dependent and independent variables?
The independent variable is the variable being manipulated in the experiment in order to show the effect on the dependent variable. It is also called the experimental variable.The dependent variable is the variable being observed in the experiment. Changes in the dependent variable as a result of changes in the independent variable are observed, which is the purpose of the experiment. Dependent variable is also called the response variable.
What is the definition of dependent variable?
A variable in a research design that is free to change over a range of different experimental treatments. You have probably made a hypothesis that the dependent variable will change in some systematic way as the experimental treatments change. Examining the data that you generate will tell you whether or not your hypothesis is right.Term used in regressionanalysis to represent the element or condition that is dependent on values of one ormore other independent variables.Basically a dependent variable is an scientific term mostly used in science projects.Dependent variable means an variable that is changed by the expirment.
What is a indenpent variable?
In experimental design there are two variables, the independent variable and the dependent variable. You are allowed manipulate or change one variable to see how that affects results in an experiment you are conducting. Think of it as the variable Ican change. This is the i variable, the independent. The experiment will generate data that responds to these changes. This data is your dependent variable.
What gets purposely changed in an experiment and goes on the x axis?
The independent variable, which influences the dependent (y axis) variable, also, the experimental variable (the one you change in the experiment) goes on the x axis.
Is the dependent variable in an experiment the factor that may be influenced by the experimental treatment?
yes It sounds like you have a good handle on this based on the question..
Does the experimental group test the dependent variable?
The effect on the dependent variable will be different in the experimental group than the control group, which is why you measure the dependant variable.
What is a factor in a experiment that you measure to gather results?
It is a variable. The independent (manipulated) variable is the factor that is different between the control and experimental groups. The dependent variable is the difference resulting from the independent variable. The controlled variables are the factors that are not changed in the experiment between the control and experimental groups.
What is a variable that may influence the dependent variable other than the independent variable?
experimental variable?
Which term describes an experiment with one dependent variable and one experimental variable?
controlled experiment
Does the independent variable on a graph cause the change in an experimental system?
No. It will only do that if the other variable is dependent on it.
What is the Difference between independent dependent variables?
The independent variable is the variable being manipulated in the experiment in order to show the effect on the dependent variable. It is also called the experimental variable.The dependent variable is the variable being observed in the experiment. Changes in the dependent variable as a result of changes in the independent variable are observed, which is the purpose of the experiment. Dependent variable is also called the response variable.

Which term describes a type of independent variable used to compare differences in dependent varables?
experimental control
What is the variable that is observed and that changes in response to the manipulated variable?
The dependent variable is the observed one. If there is an experimental effect, then the changes you see in this variable depend on what you did to the manipulated variable.
A variable measured in an experiment?
The variable measured in an experiment is called the dependent variable" the outcome factor". In contrast, the independent variable is the experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable who effect is being studied.
What are independent and dependent variables?
The independent variable is also called an experimental variable. It is the variable being manipulated in the experiment in order to show the effect on the dependent variable. The dependent variable is also called the response variable. It is the variable being observed in the experiment. A change in the independent variable is what causes the change (if any) in the dependent variable, which is the purpose of the experiment.
What conditions must be met if you want to have a scientifically valid sample for a study?
You must have a control group, an experimental group, an experimental variable (also called the independent variable), and a response to be measured (also called the dependent variable). The experimental variable is applied only to the experimental group, so that any difference between the control group and experimental group is due only to the experimental variable. Both the control group and experimental group must have the same conditions, except for the experimental variable.
