What are the examples of dependent and independent variables in sports?

Answer 1

1st answerer:

Depedent variables: Are variables that depend on the independent variables.

Independent variables: Are variables that do not depend on anything.

Examples of dependent variables in sports - Baseball: The number of runs scored or a catch or out (basically the batsmen hitting the ball) - this depends on the pitcher actually Bowling the bowl, because without the pitcher, there would be no use of the batsmen.

Examples of independent variables in sports - Baseball: So, the pitcher is an independent variable - it does not depend on anything, simply pitches.

Let's try soccer:

Dependent variables: The goalie blocking a shot, or the goalie failing to block a shot. This depends on a player actually kicking the ball towards the net.

Independent variables: Therefore if the player did not kick the ball, the goalie's purpose wouldn't exist. The player kicking the ball depends on nothing.

Let's take soccer as an algebraic example:

1. Make a equation - Say you are a player at offense, and I am the goalie. For every 3 shots you take, you miss 2. Say you took 19 shots in a match.

2. This means the equation is: (19 x 3)-(19 x 2)=x. x = number of goals you scored.

3. Solve: 57 - 38 = 19. You scored 19 goals.

Hope this helped!
