Detailed explanation-1: -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. For example, someone’s age might be an independent variable.
Detailed explanation-2: -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).
Detailed explanation-3: -Two examples of common independent variables are age and time. There’s nothing you or anything else can do to speed up or slow down time or increase or decrease age. They’re independent of everything else.
Detailed explanation-4: -You can see that one way to look at variables is to divide them into four different categories ( nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio).
Detailed explanation-5: -A manipulated variable. A predictor variable. A regressor (in regression analysis).
