In an equation like y = mx + b, such as y = 3x + 2, x is the independent - YOU put in the x. y is the ANSWER you get, depending on what you used for x. To test, do exactly that - you choose what to do for your independent variable, and see what happens for the y. Works for both math and science. Change the independent variable, and compare how your dependent variables change depending on what changes you made to the independent.
A dependent variable is one in whose experimental or analytical value is determined by the value of the independent variable. An independent variable is not determined by any other variable, but rather is an input value. For example in the equation y = 3x y is dependent and determined by the value of the independent variable x
Any form of numerical measurement can be a dependent variable (or an independent one).
the dependent variable has one value and the independent variable has no value
The dependent variable.
An independent variable is something that you can change in your experiment. A dependent variable is something that changes depending on what your independent variable is. Example: You have two plants. You water one every day and you water the other one every other day to see how fast they'll grow. Your independent variable is water, because you can change how much you give to the plant. Your dependent variable are the plants, because they'll change depending on how much water you give them.
The independent variable is the one variable that is purposely changed in an experiment to test a hypothesis. It is manipulated by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable.
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.
The independent variable is the one that is purposely changed to test a hypothesis.There are 3 kinds of variables in a scientific experiment: independent, dependent, and controlled.
An independent variable is the one that you change in the experiment. A dependent variable is the one that you measure, it changes depending on the independent variable.
The independent variable is the one that you change in an experiment. The dependent variable changes because of the independent variable. You control the independent and observe the dependent.
Independent variable is what you change in the experiment group. Dependent variable is what happens because of the independent variable. It has to be measurable in degrees, inches, or other such measurements.
Its the independent one; because you change it, the dependent variable will be affected.
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
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.
A dependent variable is one that changes based on changes of the independent variable. Or we can say it depends on whatever happens to the independent variable.
An independent variable is a variable that isn't affected by something else. A dependent variable is a variable that's affected by changes in the independent variable.
The variable that the experimenter deliberately changes is called the independent variable. The thing you are observing as a result of the different 'values' or 'conditions' of the independent variable is called the dependent variable. If the experiment is well controlled, then you can have some confidence that changes in the dependent variable have come about directly as a result of your changes to the independent variable.
