What causes a dependent variable to change?
Dependent variables are variables whose changes depend solely on another variable—usually the independent variable. That is, the value of the dependent variable will only change if the independent variable changes.B
What is a variable that affects the dependent variable?
One is called the dependent variable and the other the independent variable. The independent variable is the variable the experimenter manipulates or changes, and is assumed to have a direct effect on the dependent variable.
What are changes in a dependent variable called?
A dependent variable is a variable whose value will change depending on the value of another variable, called the independent variable. Dependent variables are also known as outcome variables, left-hand-side variables, or response variables.
Is the dependent variable expected to change?
In an experiment, the variable manipulated by an experimenter is something that is proven to work, called an independent variable. The dependent variable is the event expected to change when the independent variable is manipulated.
Which is a dependent variable?
The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured or tested in an experiment. 1 For example, in a study looking at how tutoring impacts test scores, the dependent variable would be the participants’ test scores, since that is what is being measured.E

What is dependent variable physics?
The quantity whose value changes in response to the change of independent variable value is called the dependent variable.
Which is your dependent variable?
How do you graph independent and dependent variables?
Independent and dependent variables always go on the same places in a graph. This makes it easy for you to quickly see which variable is independent and which is dependent when looking at a graph or chart. The independent variable always goes on the x-axis, or the horizontal axis. The dependent variable goes on the y-axis, or vertical axis.
Is time dependent or independent variable?
In typical studies, time is almost always an independent variable. It is independent because it can, for example, predict or explain changes in the values of the dependent variable(s) being studied.
What is dependent variable in research?
The dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in an experiment, and is ‘dependent’ on the independent variable. In an experiment, the researcher is looking for the possible effect on the dependent variable that might be caused by changing the independent variable.
What is independent and dependent?
Key difference: Independent and dependent are antonyms. Dependent is when someone does have to rely on somebody else, whereas independent is when one does not have to rely on anybody. Independent and dependent are two terms that are actually antonyms. Essentially, that means that they are opposites.
