An variable is changed to determine how it will affect the dependent variable?
The type of variable that responds to the dependent variable is called the independent variable.
Is a responding variable the same as a dependent variable?
yes it is... the responding variable responds to the independent variable....
What variable depends on or responds to the independent variable?
The Dependent Variable (Y).The dependent variable. When two variables have a relationship with each other (independent and dependent), it is called a function. Usually, the independent variable is x and the dependent variable is y, although this can be switched around depending on the data.
What best describes the dependent variable in an experiment?
The factor in an experiment that responds to the manipulated variable
What is the variable that responds to the variable being changed by the scientist?
Usually this is called the DEPENDENT VARIABLE (DV, aka outcome, criterion...). The scientist manipulates the independent variable and it is their HOPE that the dependent variable will change in response.
What is a indenpent variable?
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.
Define dependent responding variable?
A dependent (responding) variable is a condition that can change as the result of an independent variable's alteration. It can also be referred to as an effect. Every well-designed experiment has three kinds of variables. 1) Control variables, which are the same for each stage of the experiment. 2) Independent (manipulated) variables, which represent what is being changed by experimenters. 3) Dependent (responding) variables, which respond to the change and ideally are the direct result of the change in the independent (manipulated) variables.
Definitions of the 3 types of variables in doing an experiment?
The three variable in an experiment are independent, dependent, and controlled. The independent is the variable you control, the dependent is the variable that will change according to the independent. The control is kept constant so they do not affect the dependent.
What is a dependent and indenpendent variale?
A dependent variable is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment. The dependent variable responds to the independent variable. It is called dependent because it "depends" on the independent variable. In a scientific experiment, you cannot have a dependent variable without an independent variable. Example: You are interested in how stress affects heart rate in humans. Your independent variable would be the stress and the dependent variable would be the heart rate. You can directly manipulate stress levels in your human subjects and measure how those stress levels change heart rate.
What is a minipulated variable for a science experiment?
A manipulated variable is one that the scientist or tester is testing and changing. It is also called the independent variable. The responding variable is the one that responds to the changes and is measured for results. It is also called the dependent variable.
What is a senser?
A sensor is a device that detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it.
What Distinction between price elastic and price inelastic?
Elasticity is "a measure of responsiveness that tells us how a dependent variable such as a quantity responds to a change in an independent variable such as price." Basically, that means that elastic product's demand is affected by price and an inelastic product's demand is unaffected by price.For example: if a product is elastic, the price goes up and demand goes down, or the price goes down and demand goes up. Examples are electronics, candy and junk food, and even cars.If a product is inelastic, the demand will stay the same no matter the price. Examples are medical supplies.
