Example: the amount of food is the independent variable because it has been changed and the growth of chickens is the dependent variable because the growth will be effected by the amount of food. Growth depends on the food

Every time the independent variables change, the dependent variables change.Dependent variables cannot change if the independent variables didn't change.
Independent variables are those that you change in an experiment. Dependent variables are the ones that you measure in an experiment. Dependent variables are influenced by the independent variables that you change, so they are dependent upon the independent variable. Generally, experiments should have only one independent variable.
Examples of independent variables are:AgeRaceeducationWhy 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.But a race may also become a dependent variable if you relate it to- example the european continent. European continent now becomes the independent variable and races, beliefs, religions, and languages are dependent variables.
Independent changes; the dependent variable is what you will measure.
Independent variables are the input value of a function (usually x) and dependent variables are the output value of the function (usually y).
