Examples of Dependent and independent variables?

Answer 1

Independent Variables are changes that occur in an experiment that are directly caused by the experimenter (you.)

Dependent Variables are changes that occur due toindependent variables.

A Controlled Variable is anything else that could influence the dependent variables.

Answer 2

In the theory, if students study more, they will get better grades, the independent variable would be the amount of studying. The dependent variable would be the result or grade the person gets.

For example:

A person can study for long hours, and maintain a C average, whereas another person can study for short hours and maintain an A average. It depends on a person.

Answer 3

Here is one:

When you do a simple experiment, there is one variable you control, and one you measure. For example, you might want to find how the amount of sugar that can dissolve in a cup of water depends on the temperature.

Bring a cup of water to 30C, and gradually add sugar while stirring until a little is left that won't dissolve. Repeat for 40C, 50C, etc. The amount of sugar dissolved is called the dependent variable, since it depends on the temperature of the water. The temperature is called the independent variable because it doesn't depend on anything … you decide what it will be.

By convention, the independent variable - which you control - is plotted on the horizontal, or x-axis. The dependent variable - which you measure - is plotted on the vertical, or y-axis.

ind :change height of a ramp

dep: speed of a ball

Answer 5

A dependent variable is a factor being measured in a experiment
