If students study for the scientific method test, then they will have a better test score. What is the dependent variable?
A
Scientific Method
B
Studying
C
Independent variable
D
Test score
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The test scores would be the dependent variable and the amount of studying would be the independent variable.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is a dependent variable? 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-3: -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-4: -For example, if you are measuring how the amount of sunlight affects the growth of a type of plant, the independent variable is the amount of sunlight. You can control how much sunlight each plant gets. The growth is the dependent variable. It is the effect of the amount of sunlight.

Detailed explanation-5: -An easy way to think of independent and dependent variables is, when you’re conducting an experiment, the independent variable is what you change, and the dependent variable is what changes because of that. You can also think of the independent variable as the cause and the dependent variable as the effect.
