The independent variable.
The independent variable, if there is one, is usually plotted on the x-axis, not the y-axis. So the question is based on false premises. The practice of putting the dependent variable on the vertical, y-axis is just a matter of convention. There is no mathematical justification for it.
the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.
An independent variable is a factor that doesn't rely on anything, unlike the dependent variable (which relies on the independent variable). The most common independent variable is time.
The independent variable is the variable which you change. It is not changed by any outside factors and so is independent of them.The dependent variable is the variable which is changed by the independent variable changing and which you measure. It is dependent on another variable.
The dependence or independence of a variable does not have a bearing on its position in a fraction.
A dependent quantity is a variable that is determined by another variable, known as the independent variable. The dependent variable's value depends on the value of the independent variable. This relationship is often represented in a mathematical or statistical model.
it has something to with mathematical graphs
You may be referring to an independent variable, which is a quantity in a mathematical expression whose value does not depend upon variations in other quantities in that mathematical expression. For example, in the expression y=2x the variable y depends on the value of x and so is not independent, while in the expression z=x+y the variable z is dependent, but the variables x and y are both independent.
regression analysis
I hope this helps you out a lot. If you are asking what a dependent variable is, here is your answer: A dependent variable is a variable which would be the output of the experiment. The value of the dependent variable depends on the value of the independent variable. If you are asking what a dependent variable does, here is your answer: A dependent variable shows you the output of the experiment. It shows you the independent variable's function. If you have learned that in Math, you should understand. Source(s): I'm a Science and Math whiz.
The experimental group is the group in an experiment that receives the manipulation of the independent variable. This group is compared to the control group, which does not receive the manipulation, to determine the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable.
Any form of numerical measurement can be a dependent variable (or an independent one).
If there is an independent variable and a tangible dependent variable in it then it can be tested. A general form of a hypothesis would be: If the (independent variable) (verb)s, then the (dependent variable) will (verb). If it follows this format, it can be tested

Changes in the independent variable are independent of changes in any other variable,
