Direct link to avisarus's post “The dependent variable is...” The dependent variable is supposed to DEPEND on the independent variable. You can also tell if it's the other way around. Does the temperature outside depend on how much water you drink? No, no it doesn't! Tip for the future, if it does seem to make sense both ways then you might have a junk design for your experiment.

Direct link to emhametz's post “Assuming you're asking ab...” Assuming you're asking about independent and dependent variables. The independent variable is the variable being controlled in the problem, and the dependent variable is the variable that changes because of this control. For instance, if you were to be measuring the number of miles you drove in any number of hours at a constant speed, the controlled independent variable is the time in hours and the dependent variable is the distance you drove in miles.

In both math and science, we need a word to describe a variable that changes as something else changes (dependent ) and a variable that does not change as a result of something else changing, and instead causes something else to change (independent).

Direct link to Ayva Dunn's post “The independent variable ...” The independent variable is the variable that changes the dependent variable. So, say if you drink water from a large water bottle, the amount of liters you drink depends on how many times you drink from your water bottle. If you drink different amounts of water from the bottle, you will have a different amount of liters you drank (6 votes) firdousalsalihi 10 months agoPosted 10 months ago.

P • (4 votes) Anthony Fritz 6 years agoPosted 6 years ago. Direct link to Anthony Fritz's post “The dependent variable is...” The dependent variable is usually graphed on the y-axis, and the independent variable is usually graphed on the x-axis. In addition, the value of the independent variable determines the value of the dependent variable and is used in experiments to test the value of the dependent variable. For example, if I were studying the influence of hours studied on the final grade received in a course, the number of hours (the input that changes the output) would be the independent variable and graphed on the x-axis, and the final grade received (the output of number of hours studied) would be the dependent variable and graphed on the y-axis.

If I do make a plot to show how much water I drink depending on what the temperature is outside. The # of cups of water is the dependent variable. This leaves the independent variable to be the temperature!
If, say, y = x+3, then the value y can have depends on what the value of x is.
Another way to put it is the dependent variable is the output value and the independent variable is the input value. So for y=x+3, when you input x=2, the output is y = 5.
1. the amount of nitrogen in the soil
2. the amount of phosphorus in the soil
3. the amount of rainfall
4. the amount of potassium in the ground
5. frequency of weeding
6. temperature
So if you have the amount of nitrogen in the soil over a given time period or rainfall per month over a year, or temperature from 4 am to 8 pm, these would all be the dependent variable with time as the independent variable.
FAQs
How do you answer independent and dependent variables? ›
The dependent variable is sometimes called the “response,” the “symptoms”, or the “outcome”. The dependent variable is often the focus of the research study. Independent variables: Independent variables aren't affected by any other variables that the study measures.
How do you memorize independent and dependent variables? ›An easy way to think of independent and dependent variables is, when you're conducting an experiment, the independent variable is what you change, and the dependent variable is what changes because of that. You can also think of the independent variable as the cause and the dependent variable as the effect.
What is the independent variable answer key? ›Answer: An independent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure.
What are the independent and dependent variables in the experiment explain your answers? ›In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that is varied or manipulated by the researcher. The dependent variable is the response that is measured. One way to think about it is that the dependent variable depends on the change in the independent variable.
How do I identify the independent and dependent variables? ›Assuming you're asking about independent and dependent variables. The independent variable is the variable being controlled in the problem, and the dependent variable is the variable that changes because of this control.
What is an example of a dependent and independent variable? ›Example: How long you sleep (independent variable) affects your test score (dependent variable). This makes sense, but: Example: Your test score affects how long you sleep. This doesn't really make sense (unless you can't sleep because you are worried you failed a test, but that would be a different experiment).
What is the acronym to remember independent and dependent variables? ›Introduced the mnemonic "Dairy Milk, Ice Cream" for the "dependent variable is measured, the independent variable is what you change" today.
How to explain independent and dependent variables to kids? ›The amount of sunlight is the independent variable. The amount of sunlight is the variable that you are changing to test the plant growth. The plant growth is the dependent variable. It's what is being tested, and the plant growth depends on the amount of sunlight.
What are 4 independent variables? ›In this sense, some common independent variables are time, space, density, mass, fluid flow rate, and previous values of some observed value of interest (e.g. human population size) to predict future values (the dependent variable).
What is the dependent variable answer? ›A dependent variable is the variable that changes as a result of the independent variable manipulation. It's the outcome you're interested in measuring, and it “depends” on your independent variable. In statistics, dependent variables are also called: Response variables (they respond to a change in another variable)
How to identify independent and dependent variables in Word problems? ›
The variable whose value does not depend on the other variable is the independent variable. The variable whose value depends on the other variable is the dependent variable.
Which variable is manipulated? ›The manipulated variable, also known as the independent variable, is the factor or condition that is purposely changed by the scientist. It is what is being tested, or the cause of a cause and effect relationship.
How do you identify the independent variable in an experiment? ›An easy way to think of independent and dependent variables is, when you're conducting an experiment, the independent variable is what you change, and the dependent variable is what changes because of that. You can also think of the independent variable as the cause and the dependent variable as the effect.
What are the two independent and dependent variables? ›What are dependent and independent variables in research? The dependent variable in a research study or experiment is what is being measured in the study or experiment. The independent variable in a research study or experiment is what the researcher is changing in the study or experiment.
How do you write independent and dependent variables? ›Take the sentence, "The [independent variable] causes a change in [dependent variable] and it is not possible that [dependent variable] could cause a change in [independent variable]." Insert the names of variables you are using in the sentence in the way that makes the most sense.
How do you show the relationship between independent and dependent variables? ›If y represents the dependent variable and x the independent variable, this relationship is described as the regression of y on x. The relationship can be represented by a simple equation called the regression equation.
How do you explain independent and dependent variables to children? ›The independent variable is the variable that is changed on purpose to test the dependent variable. The dependent variable, to explain again, is the variable that is affected by the changes made to the independent variable.
What is an example of IV and DV? ›For example, if an experimenter wanted to find out whether time spent studying improves exam results, the IV would be time spent studying and the DV would be exam results. TIP: If it helps, remember that 'the IV is something I change' and the 'DV depends on the IV. '
