Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The independent variable is a variable that the researcher can control and whose change results in the change of the dependent variable. The dependent variable changes, because of a change in the independent variable is the underlying assumption of a simple linear in regression.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -A dependent variable is the variable being tested in a scientific experiment. The dependent variable is ‘dependent’ on the independent variable. As the experimenter changes the independent variable, the change in the dependent variable is observed and recorded.
Detailed explanation-4: -It is something that depends on other factors. For example, a test score could be a dependent variable because it could change depending on several factors such as how much you studied, how much sleep you got the night before you took the test, or even how hungry you were when you took it.
Detailed explanation-5: -Independent variable-the one condition that is changed during a scientific experiment, by the scientist. The experimenter alters the independent variable in order to test the dependent variable.
