Mathematics
Y is often used as the "dependent variable" which changes as the independent variable (X) changes, according to the defined function y = f(x).
Experimentation
The dependent variable is what will change in the experiment, based on changes made to the independentvariable. The constant or controlled variable is maintained so that the outcome is dependent on the changes to the factor being studied.
Example : Determining growth of bacteria in various aqueous nutrient solutions.
Example: Time is an independent variable, no matter how fast you are going, the amount of time does not change over a specific interval. Distance is a dependent variable. The distance travelled is dependent on how fast you are going over that same interval.
A dependent variable is a value that receives its magnitude due to the magnitude of the other variables in the "equation" or "test" or "experiment".

In many situations, though, there is no independent variable but two [inter-]dependent variables. This is particularly true of systems in which there is some sort of feedback. For example, changes in the rate of inflation affects the rate of unemploment and changes in the rate of unemployment affects inflation.
A dependent variable is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment.
The independent variable determines the value of other variables and is change by the person doing the experiment. The dependent variable is what is affected by the independent variable; it "depends" on the independent variable.
yes
A dependent (responding) variable is a condition that can change as the result of an independent variable's alteration. It can also be referred to as an effect. Every well-designed experiment has three kinds of variables. 1) Control variables, which are the same for each stage of the experiment. 2) Independent (manipulated) variables, which represent what is being changed by experimenters. 3) Dependent (responding) variables, which respond to the change and ideally are the direct result of the change in the independent (manipulated) variables.
When a variable is directly influenced by another variable it is known as a dependent variable. Conversely, a variable that isn't directly affected by another variable is known as a independent variable.
Scientific Question
The dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable, so when the independent variable changes, so does the dependent variable.
dependent variable
is dependent on the independent variable
Yes, the dependent variable is the variable which is measured.
and independent variable is bigger than a dependent variable
The independent variable is the variable that is altered by the scientist, and the dependent variable's value is dependent on the value of the independent variable.
Technically you can't control the dependent variable. However, by controlling and monitoring the Independent variable, (the variable which determines the dependent variable) you could lead the dependent variable to produce favourable results.
yes
Yes, criterion variable is the same as a dependent variable.
The manipulated/independent variable is a variable that changes and it is what the responding/dependent variable change because of the manipulated variable.
The dependent variable ( responding variable ) is the variable that changes on purpose.
The dependent variable is the one that changes.
