something like time. Like say you want to work out how much water will be in a trough that has water coming in at 2 L per minute - the amount of water in the trough is dependent on the time at which you are trying to calculate the volume of water. so in this case time is an independent variable and the amount of water is the dependent variable... hope that helps. :)

well dependent is when you are are NOT independent so in your daily life you could just have S.E.X and then that is how you become non independent
It is called an independent variable. For example, you give some people dark chocolate and other no chocolate at all. You measure their well being. The amount of chocolate is something YOU control, so it is the independent variable. The well being depends on the chocolate. We would expect more dark chocolate would make much happier people. That would be the dependent variable.
