Detailed explanation-1: -A dependent variable is what changes as a result of the independent variable manipulation in experiments. It’s what 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-2: -The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured or tested in an experiment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Independent vs Dependent Variables An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.
