I'm doing a science project on if fingerprint patterns are inherited? what is the control, independent variable and dependent variable?
An ''independent variable is a ''variable which is presumed to affect or determine a dependent ''variable. independent variable is typically the variable being manipulated or changed and the dependent variable is the observed result of the independent variable being manipulated.''''''
Example;
In price and sales relationship one can manipulate price to check its effect on sales, so sale is dependent and price is independent 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.
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
is dependent on the independent variable
doesn't have to have a variable of any thing !!!
Free from outside control means Independent . While dependent Is opposite.
