Examples of independent variables are:
Why age is independent? because you can assign many variables that are dependent to age. Example: maturity, character, experience, and similar others.
Race is also independent since many variables can be due to race. Example: color of the skin, language, belief, height, and similar others.

The dependent variable depends on the independent variable for its values as for example in the straight line equation y = 2x+6 whereas y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable
No. If you are studying waiting time, for example at a bank, the waiting time could be the dependent variable with the number of open windows as the independent variable.
