How would you define what a dependent variable and independent variable are?

- Independent variables answer the question "What do I change?"
- Dependent variables answer the question "What do I observe?"
- Controlled variables answer the question "What do I keep the same?"

∙ 15y agoAn independent variable is a variable in an experiment that the researchers control (i.e. which experimental group someone goes into/who gets what drug etc.). The dependent variable in a study is what's being measured (i.e. the effect a frug has on a person).

In Solomon Asch's Conformity Experiment what are the variables?
The variables were the presence of a group and the level of conformity. The dependent variable was whether or not the participant would give his answers with the stooges unanimously giving their answer first, or whether they would give it alone. The independent variable was their level of conformity. This was operationalised as the percentage of errors they made in line with what the stooges said.
What is optimal learning?
After teaching for thirty years, I would define optimal learning as the aquiring of skills and or knowledge in an environment that supports the student's needs as completely as possible.
Is 50 a passing grade in college?
This depends on the class since different classes may or may not be graded on a curve and weighted differently dependent on students' performance and grades. Percentile wise, 50% would not be a passing grade. In most places a 60% or higher is needed to pass.
Define horizontal and vertical job rotation?
Job rotation refers to assigning employees to various tasks so that they gain a wider experience. Horizontal job rotation would be when an employee move to jobs of a similar status. Vertical job rotation occurs when the new job is seen as a promotion (or demotion).
How would you define leadership?
The simplest and indeed most helpful definition I have come across, is that leadership is the ability to get followers. or another way leadership is "influence". Anyone with whom you have any influence you are in fact leading. If this is landing with you at all, then you may want to get a copy of John C Maxwell's book "Developing the leader within you".
What is the independent variable and dependent variable in Algebra - X is and Y is?
Any variable can be declared as the independent variable, then the other would be the dependent variable. However, it is quite common to arbitrarily define y as the dependent variable - a variable that depends on x.
What is the difference between the independent and dependent variables in the experiment?
Dependent variable is your data, independent variable is what you are testing. Ex. Sunlight would be the independent variable and a plants growth would be the dependent variable.
What are dependent and independent variable in algebra?
the dependent variable is the y-value. the dependent variable means it relys on another variable for its answer. without the other variable this variable would not exist. the independent variable is the x-value. the independent variable can exist on its own without the dependent variable. i mention x-values and y-values... this is only if you are using an x and y value for your application. there are other applications... like speed... where the dependent variable for speed would be time and the independent variable for speed would be distance. and for acceleration the dependent variable would be speed and the independent variable would be distance.
What could be a dependent and independent variable for homelessness?
would homelessness be a dependent variable
Which would be the independent variable and which would be the dependent variable?
A dependent variable is usually on the side of the equation by itself. The independent variable usually has something being done to it. And, the dependent variable is usually written to the left of the equation.
If you are doing a science project on jellyfish what would the independent and dependent variable be?
Dependent variable would be : too many jellyfish. Independent variable would be tentacles probably.
Would battery be the independent variable and flashlight dependent variable in an experiment?
Nope. Dependent Variable is the variable that is being tested/measured while Independent variable is the variable is that can be changed.
How would you write a dependent and independent variable for growth of crystals in a faster rate depending on temperature?
Dependent variable: growth of crystals Independent variable: temperature.
What is a variable that is used is a independent variable?
An independent variable is the variable of the experiment that the dependent variable depends on. For example, in an experiment testing the effects of soil quality on a plant's growth, the dependent variable would be the plant's growth and the independent variable would be the quality of the soil.
Define dependent responding variable?
A dependent (responding) variable is a condition that can change as the result of an independent variable's alteration. It can also be referred to as an effect. Every well-designed experiment has three kinds of variables. 1) Control variables, which are the same for each stage of the experiment. 2) Independent (manipulated) variables, which represent what is being changed by experimenters. 3) Dependent (responding) variables, which respond to the change and ideally are the direct result of the change in the independent (manipulated) variables.
Things that may change during a experiment are called?
'Variables' are any factors that can be controlled, changed or measured. There are two types: the independent variable and the dependent variable. The independent variable is the condition that you change and the dependent variable is what you are observing. So if you are trying to measure the effect of water on plant growth the water would be the independent variable and the plant growth would be the dependent variable.
A factor that you measure in an experiment is called the?
easy! thats would be the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE!
