An independent variable is the variable that the scientist changes, and the dependent variables are the variables that the scientist doesn't control. So that would mean that the independent variable is typically the variable being manipulated or changed and the dependent variable is the observed result of the independent variable being manipulated.
The independent variable in a science experiment is the variable that you change on purpose.
The independent variable is the variable that scientists manipulate in an experiment in order to determine its effect on a dependent variable. For example, if you wanted to see what affected frog deformities, you would set up an experiment where you would have frogs placed in the same environments as each other, except for one variable (independent) that is different. Let's say the control group gets exposed to all the same food, temperature, length of daylight, population density, etc., as the experimental group. The experimental group has the amount of UV exposure varied. The UV exposure (independent variable) would be used to determine its effects on frog deformities (dependent variable).

∙ 8y agoThe INDEPENDENT variable or variables can have any value; the DEPENDENT value is calculated on the basis of the independent variables. That is, once the value for the independent variables is specified, there is no more freedom for the dependent variables.

What is the manipulating variable the dependent variable or the independent variable?
The independent variable.
What is the diffrence between dependent variable and independent variable?
the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.
What is an independent variable in math?
An independent variable is a factor that doesn't rely on anything, unlike the dependent variable (which relies on the independent variable). The most common independent variable is time.
Which variable is independent and which variable is dependent?
and independent variable is bigger than a dependent variable
Definition of independent variable and dependat variable?
The independent variable is the variable which you change. It is not changed by any outside factors and so is independent of them.The dependent variable is the variable which is changed by the independent variable changing and which you measure. It is dependent on another variable.
What is the manipulating variable the dependent variable or the independent variable?
The independent variable.
The variable which is deliberately changed in experiment?
Independent, it is in the name, more variables are: dependant variable- the one you keep the same control variable- mearsuring variable
Independent and independent variable in sentence?
Changes in the independent variable are independent of changes in any other variable,
What is the test variable (independent variable) in the experiment?
The independent variable.
What is the diffrence between dependent variable and independent variable?
the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.
What is the dependent and independent in a experiment?
The independent variable of an experiment is the variable that you change, and the dependent variable is the result of the independent variable.
Does the independent or dependent variable change?
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.
Why do you called independent variable independent variable?
because it is independent
Independent and dependent variable?
Math: Independent variable is what you change. Dependent variable is what you measure.
What is an independent variable in math?
An independent variable is a factor that doesn't rely on anything, unlike the dependent variable (which relies on the independent variable). The most common independent variable is time.
What is a Factor that is deliberately changed in a experiment?
the anwer is a variable( the thng that will change over time in the experiment
Which variable is independent and which variable is dependent?
and independent variable is bigger than a dependent variable
