Explain Why is time an independent variable and position is a dependent variable in a position versus time graph?

Time is an independent variable because it is affected only by when you decide to stop to read its position (not affected by the position). However, time is a dependent variable since the time you record it affects its result. In simpler terms, independent variable is something you can change to alter the dependent variable. You can change the time (0s to 15s etc.) but you cannot change the position.


What does independent variable means?

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.


In an experiment dealing with distance versus velocity which is the independent variable?

It will depend on the experiment. The answer is unclear because the question was not specific enough. There are experiments where either can be the independent variable. Your question is a bit vague, but there might be a solution. The best solution would be if you had your raw data, or remembered the structure of the experiment. Were you measuring velocity at specific distances, or were you measuring distances from set velocities? The set/specific values are your independent variables, and therefore the other quantity depends upon what you measured at those set intervals. The other possibility is in the wording of the question. If it is from your teacher, it is likely that the distance is the independent variable, as older terminology for graphing that uses versus, implies (not a guarantee, see below) that the independent variable is first (versus) the dependent, or x vs. y. Since the question states distance vs. velocity it can be assumed (again, not a guarantee) that distance is the independent and velocity is the dependent. You should ask for clarification of the whole versus phrasing, as some people don't know the order, and it is confusing. For example I had a high school teacher (and many other teachers) who stressed independent vs. dependent when graphing, because x comes before y. I had a college professor who stressed dependent vs. independent as the wording, because slope is y over x. So which is it, is the question; therefore it really is a poor way of describing the graph of the data. Regardless of which word goes before the versus, the independent is graphed on the x-axis, and the dependent is graphed on the y-axis. Next time ask for clarification phrased as _________ as a function of ___________. The first blank is of course the dependent variable, and the last blank is the independent variable.


What makes a good experiment versus a bad experiment?

A good experiment needs to be a fair test so to have a fair test you need to have a independent variable, a dependent variable and a controlled variable. Independent Variable: The thing you change Dependent Variable: The thing you measure Controlled Variables (there's usually more than one): The things you keep the same. For example if I have 3 kids and I want to find out who can open presents the quickest the independent variable: would be what kid is opening the presents the dependent variable: would be how quick the kids were so their time and the controlled variables: would be the size of the present they used and the wrapping paper on it. Also a experiment should be repeated twice for the best results and then averaged. A bad experiment wouldn't be a test for example changing what should be a controlled variable so if one kid had to open a bigger present than the other kid they would take longer than they would with the same size present so you wouldn't get good results.


Marginal versus variable costing?

Variable cost refers to the TOTAL variable cost of all units, whereas marginal cost is the variable cost of the last unit only. Variable cost is the sum of all the individual marginal costs. The derivative of the Variable Cost is the Marginal Cost. The integral of the Marginal cost is the Variable Cost.

What is the difference between the multiplication rule for independent versus dependent events?

Given two events, A and B, Pr(A and B) = Pr(A)*Pr(B) if A and B are independent and Pr(A and B) = Pr(A | B)*Pr(B) if they are not.


What are the differences between Absorption Costing and Variable Costing?

VARIABLE COSTING VERSUS ABSORPTION COSTINGAbsorption costing applies all manufacturing overhead to production costs while they flow through Work-in-Process Inventory, Finished-Goods Inventory and expenses on the income statement while Variable Costing only applies variable manufacturing overhead.Fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed immediately as it is incurred under variable costing while it is inventoried until the accounting period during which the manufactured goods are sold under absorption costing.
