EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -A dependent variable is the variable that is tested and measured in a scientific experiment. It is sometimes called the responding variable.

Detailed explanation-2: -The dependent variable is the item that responds to the change of the independent variable. The dependent variable depends/changes when the independent variable is changed.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -A manipulated variable is a variable that is changed by the researcher. A manipulated variable is also called an independent variable. A responding variable is a variable that the researcher predicts will change if the manipulated variable changes. A responding variable is also called a dependent variable.

Detailed explanation-5: -In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that is varied or manipulated by the researcher. The dependent variable is the response that is measured. One way to think about it is that the dependent variable depends on the change in the independent variable.
