Detailed explanation-1: -Question: What’s an independent variable? 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: -The independent variable is the variable that will be purposely changed by the scientist to see and measure the effect (if any) it has on the dependent variable.
Detailed explanation-3: -The thing that is changed on purpose is called the manipulated variable. Sometimes it is also called the independent variable. In an experiment, there are many variables for a scientist to keep track of. A variable is anything that can change in an experiment.
Detailed explanation-4: -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)
Detailed explanation-5: -Remember, the independent variable is what you control/change, and the dependent variable is what changes because of that.
