An Independent variable, or IV, is the thing you change. The dependent variable, or DV is the thing that changes because of the IV.
The Independent Variable is the Variable that is purposely changed, it is the one manipulated. and the Dependent Variable is the Variable that reacts to the changes due to the independent Variable.
For Example:
in a study where you will find out which age of Compost will be more effective on Tomato plants. you have Compost A (5 months old Compost), Compost B (1 year old Compost), and Compost C (1 and a half year old Compost). you will apply these compost on Flat A, and Flat B (both Flats containing the same amount of Tomatoes and same type of soil). Flat C will be your control variable.
Your Independent Variable is the Age of Compost
And Your Dependent Variable is the Growth (Color, Size, Weight) of the Tomato plants.
so basically your independent variable causes change in the dependent variable.
hi. im in science and they teach us about everything.So I will be teling you the definition of Dependant Variable [[ for science]]Dependant Variable - Something that you changing. That's it...
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.
Dependent variable is the variable that can be measured. However, the independent variable is the variable that changes in the two groups.
Science Answer: The Dependent Variable is the Variable that changes automatically during the experiment when the Independent Variable is changed by somebody. :D
It means that they are not supposed to be together.
In an experiment, the dependent variable is the outcome or response that is measured and affected by changes in the independent variable. It is the variable being studied for its relationship to the independent variable.

Math: Independent variable is what you change. Dependent variable is what you measure.
Dependent variable is the variable that can be measured. However, the independent variable is the variable that changes in the two groups.
a independent variable is a variable changed in a science experiment,and a dependent variable is the result according to the cause of the change in the independent variable.
