Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured or tested in an experiment. 1 For example, in a study looking at how tutoring impacts test scores, the dependent variable would be the participants’ test scores since that is what is being measured.

Detailed explanation-3: -The independent variable is the one the experimenter controls. The dependent variable is the variable that changes in response to the independent variable. The two variables may be related by cause and effect. If the independent variable changes, then the dependent variable is affected.

Detailed explanation-4: -A dependent variable is a factor in an experiment that can change depending on the independent variable, which is the factor that a researcher can alter during a study. Researchers study the dependent variable to determine how the independent variable directly affects it.
