The independent variable in the study of whether background noise levels affect concentration is the level of background noise itself. This could be manipulated by changing the volume or type of noise present during concentration tasks. By varying the noise levels, researchers can observe any resulting changes in participants' ability to concentrate.
If changes in one variable do not affect the outcome of another variable, then the second variable is independent. A variable that is not independent is dependent.
The independent variable may - or may not - affect the dependent variable. But the dependent doe not affect the independent.
It can, but need not, affect the outcome of the experiment variable.
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 variable you change to affect the dependent variable is called the independent variable. For example, in an experiment measuring plant growth, the amount of sunlight the plants receive is the independent variable, while the growth of the plants (measured in height or biomass) is the dependent variable. By altering the independent variable, you can observe how it influences the dependent variable.
independent variable
If changes in one variable do not affect the outcome of another variable, then the second variable is independent. A variable that is not independent is dependent.
The independent variable: Soil The dependant variable: Potato
The independent variable may - or may not - affect the dependent variable. But the dependent doe not affect the independent.
The type of variable that responds to the dependent variable is called the independent variable.
An independent variable is a variable which, in the context of the experiment or the observations, can affect the dependent variable but is not affected by it. By contrast, the dependent variable is affected by changes in the independent variable. It is quite possible that there is no independent variable, as such, and each variable affects the other.
It can, but need not, affect the outcome of the experiment variable.
The independent variable sometimes changes the dependant variable, because it is dependant on the other variable. Sometimes the independent variable doesn't change the dependant variable, in which case there is no causation between the two variables.
yes, because dependent variable is made by independent variable
Independent variable: studying with music Dependent variable: students' test scores
Independent variable: number of completed passes Dependent variable: number of touchdowns scored
Obviously talking on the phone is the independent variable but the reason you get psychology homework is so that you learn how to recognize an independent variable
