The term "dependent variable" will have different meaning depending on whether it is used in the context of a mathematical expression or statistical experiment. As given in the related link:
"In a statistics experiment, the dependent variable is the event studied and expected to change whenever the independent variable is altered."
If we are conducting an experiment, where we believe "A" affects "B", for instance eating a lot of chocolate causes pimples, then "A" , eating chocolate is the independent variable and " B" is the event of getting pimples.
Other definitions exists which convey the same concept. Other definitions may state that the dependent variable is the attribute or property being measured or identified and is the variable that is expected to change with alterations (manipulation) of the independent variable.

the thing being measured
What are the values of the idependent variable and the dependent variable?
the independent variable is usually assigned to x the dependent variable is usually assigned to y their values will vary because they are variables. that is the definition of variable
What is the definition of a dependant varible?
A dependent variable is you expect will be affected by some other variable.
Definition of independent variable and dependat variable?
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.
How do you determine which variable is your independent variable and which is you dependent variable in chemistry?
The dependent variable is located on the Y axis. The independent variable is located on the X. The dependent variable changes in response to the independent variable changing, while the independent variable is the variable that is purposefully changed in an experiment. It's easy to remember -I-ndependent, -I- change.
