The answer depends on what the experiment is about.
For example, if you believe (or want to test) that pupils' scores in English tests depend on their scores in maths tests, then the independent variable is the maths score. But if you believe that the English scores influence their maths scores then the independent variable is the maths score.

What is the independent variable when graphing the density of a solid?
Mass is the independent variable and should be plotted on the x-axis.
What is the manipulating variable the dependent variable or the independent variable?
The independent variable.
What is the diffrence between dependent variable and independent variable?
the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.
What does independent variable and dependent variable mean?
The independent variable is the variable that the scientist controls and can change in an experiment. There should be only one independent variable in an experiment; otherwise the cause-and-effect of the independent variable cannot be determined.The dependent variable is the variable that is affected by the independent variable.EXAMPLE:Students of the same age have been given different sleeping hours (the independent variable)The next day they are tested for their performance (the dependent variable).(Having students the same age is a third type of variable, called the constant variable or the control variable. It is deliberately kept the same to reduce any effects on the outcome.)
What is an independent variable in math?
An independent variable is a factor that doesn't rely on anything, unlike the dependent variable (which relies on the independent variable). The most common independent variable is time.
