Where is the independent variable on a data table?
The independent variable on a data table would be located on the y axis of the data table. The y axis is the bottom of the data table where the names or the objects being tested. The independent variable is dependent on the dependent variable. That's why it is called independent variable.
When building a line-graph a person would place the what on the x-axis?
If one of the variables was independent or if there was a causal relationship between the two variables, then that variable would be placed on the x-axis. If there were no independent variable but one of them was discrete then that would usually be on the x-axis. Otherwise, any variable could be placed on the x-axis.
How do you determine which variable goes on the x-axis?
The variable that goes on the x axis is the independent variable. For example if you were measuring time and plant growth you would put time on the x axis, because the time is independent and doesn't depend on the plan growth.
When would you use simple linear regression?
You use it when the relationship between the two variables of interest is linear. That is, if a constant change in one variable is expected to be accompanied by a constant [possibly different from the first variable] change in the other variable. Note that I used the phrase "accompanied by" rather than "caused by" or "results in". There is no need for a causal relationship between the variables. A simple linear regression may also be used after the original data have been transformed in such a way that the relationship between the transformed variables is linear.
Is political affiliation an independent variable?
It may or may not be: it depends on the study. In a study of how people intend to vote in an election, the political affiliation would be an independent variable - although probably very highly correlated with the voting intention. On the other hand in the study of the political affiliation of the people who voted in favour of (or against) a particular person, it will be a dependent variable.
Why is the independent variable the only thing that changes?
It is not. If it were, there would be no regression or correlation.
Which variable would be the dependent variable in a linear regression analysis?
hours spent studying
Splitting semi variable cost fixed and variable elements?
you could use a scatter diagram, or the hi/lo method or solve with the help of regression analysis. Hi/lo would normally be easy and fastest.
What is dependent and independent variables in the scientific method?
The independent variable is the one thing in the experiment that does change. The dependent variable "depends" on the independent variable. For example if you were testing to see how well plants grow in the dark, and you put one plant in a closet and the other by a window. The independent variable would be the amount of sunlight that each plant gets. The dependent variable would be if the plants grew or not because it depends on how much sunlight each plant got.
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.
What is a variable that is used is a independent variable?
An independent variable is the variable of the experiment that the dependent variable depends on. For example, in an experiment testing the effects of soil quality on a plant's growth, the dependent variable would be the plant's growth and the independent variable would be the quality of the soil.
What are dependent and independent variable in algebra?
the dependent variable is the y-value. the dependent variable means it relys on another variable for its answer. without the other variable this variable would not exist. the independent variable is the x-value. the independent variable can exist on its own without the dependent variable. i mention x-values and y-values... this is only if you are using an x and y value for your application. there are other applications... like speed... where the dependent variable for speed would be time and the independent variable for speed would be distance. and for acceleration the dependent variable would be speed and the independent variable would be distance.
If you are doing a science project on jellyfish what would the independent and dependent variable be?
Dependent variable would be : too many jellyfish. Independent variable would be tentacles probably.
What a testable question about the natural world that contains an independent variable and dependent variable?
That the surface tension of water varies with the water's temperature. In this case, temperature would be the independent variable and surface tension would be the independent variable.
Would battery be the independent variable and flashlight dependent variable in an experiment?
Nope. Dependent Variable is the variable that is being tested/measured while Independent variable is the variable is that can be changed.
What would happen if you change the manipulated variable?
it would not be a independent variable (manipulated variable) any more it would a diffrent variable.
Where is the independent variable on a data table?
The independent variable on a data table would be located on the y axis of the data table. The y axis is the bottom of the data table where the names or the objects being tested. The independent variable is dependent on the dependent variable. That's why it is called independent variable.
