With the dependent variable because it depends on the independent one.
In experimental design there are two variables, the independent variable and the dependent variable. You are allowed manipulate or change one variable to see how that affects results in an experiment you are conducting. Think of it as the variable Ican change. This is the i variable, the independent. The experiment will generate data that responds to these changes. This data is your dependent variable.
A dependent variable depends on the other factors while an independent variable does not depend on the other factors.
independent variable is the one you control. the dependent variable depends on the indepdendent variable (the results). on the graph independent in on the bottom and dependent is on the side
A dependent variable depends on the independent variable. If you are doing an experiment about how temperature affects the heat of water then the independent variable would be the temperature, as that is what you are going to change, and the dependent variable the water as the temperature of the water depends on the temperature surrounding it.
