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: -The independent variable (sometimes known as the manipulated variable) is the variable whose change isn’t affected by any other variable in the experiment. Either the scientist has to change the independent variable herself or it changes on its own; nothing else in the experiment affects or changes it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each controlled experiment looks at the effect of one variable (the independent variable) on some event or condition (the dependent variable). So the independent variable is the factor being tested and the dependent variable is the factor being observed and measured.

Detailed explanation-4: -An independent variable is the variable you manipulate or vary in an experimental study to explore its effects. It’s called “independent” because it’s not influenced by any other variables in the study. Independent variables are also called: Explanatory variables (they explain an event or outcome)

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
