GENERAL HISTOLOGY

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: -An independent variable is the variable you manipulate, control, 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The independent variable is the one that is changed by the scientist. To insure a fair test, a good experiment has only ONE independent variable. As the scientist changes the independent variable, he or she records the data that they collect.

Detailed explanation-4: -In an experiment the ONE variable that is chosen to be changed. This is called the independent variable. This is so we can observe or measure what happens as a result of the change. In an experiment one variable is chosen to be observed or measured. This is called the dependent variable.

Detailed explanation-5: -In analytical health research there are generally two types of variables. Independent variables are what we expect will influence dependent variables. A Dependent variable is what happens as a result of the independent variable.
