An independent variable is the variable you can change in an experiment. On a graph, it's on the X-axis. A dependent variable is the result of changing the independent variable. It is literally dependent on it. The dependent variable goes on the Y-axis.

What are the dependent and independent variables in relationship between resistance and current at constant voltage?

dependent variable is current and independent variable is resisitance


A statement of a possible relationship between the independent and dependent variables?

A dependent variable is a variable dependent on the independent variable. A control variable is something you want to try to keep the same. A dependent variable is something you measure. An independent variable is something you change.


How many variables should there be in a good experiment?

There should be one dependent variables. Depending on the type of research you are doing, the amount of independent variables will change. If you are doing research on a large scale, you will use more independent variables. If it's on a small scale, you will use very little. If you are not able to run your regression it means your sample size is too small or you have too many independent variables.


Why are function notation important?

A function is a relationship between quantities (variables) that occurs when the value of one of the quantities can be given uniquely by specified values of the other quantities. The variables involved can be either independent or dependent. The values of certain variables are fixed while others are allowed to change. The fixed variables are called the independent variables, and the dependent variables are those that change in response to the given value of the independent variable. A function therefore relates dependent variables to independent variables, the only restriction being that each value of the dependent variable is given uniquely by one, and only one, value for each of the independent variables.


What is the difference between control and experimental variables?

Control variables are kept constant throughout an experiment to ensure that any changes in the dependent variable are due to the manipulation of the independent variable. Experimental variables, on the other hand, are the factors that are deliberately changed by the researcher to observe their effect on the dependent variable.

What is the differecnce between independent variables and dependent variables?

Every time the independent variables change, the dependent variables change.Dependent variables cannot change if the independent variables didn't change.


The difference between the independent and dependent variables?

Independent variables are variables that can be changed in an experiment, while dependent variables are variables that change as a result of an experiment. In other words, independent variables are what you change, and dependent variables are the results of the experiment.


13 What is the relation between dependent and independent variables?

Independent variables are those that you change in an experiment. Dependent variables are the ones that you measure in an experiment. Dependent variables are influenced by the independent variables that you change, so they are dependent upon the independent variable. Generally, experiments should have only one independent variable.


What the differences between the independent variable and dependent variable?

An independent variable is a variable which stands independent and is unaffected by other variables. A dependent variable is a variable which is a response to the independent variable, and is usually the factor that is being tested in an experiment.


As the independent variable increases the dependent variable does what?

Depends on the relationship between the independent and dependent variables.


Distinguish between independent and dependent variables?

They are respectively the ones you control (independent) and the ones you mesure (dependent).


If the independent variable increases what happens to the dependent variable?

It depends on the relationship, if any, between the independent and dependent variables.


What is the similarities between independent and dependent variables?

Both variables and both part of an experiment.


What are the dependent and independent variables in relationship between resistance and current at constant voltage?

dependent variable is current and independent variable is resisitance


What is the line of regression?

line that measures the slope between dependent and independent variables


What is the difference between the independent and dependent variables in the experiment?

Dependent variable is your data, independent variable is what you are testing. Ex. Sunlight would be the independent variable and a plants growth would be the dependent variable.
