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 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-3: -Dependent variables A dependent variable represents a quantity whose value depends on how the independent variable is manipulated. y is often the variable used to represent the dependent variable in an equation.
