They are the variables that you think predict some outcome (which is considered the dependent variable).
So you might have a theory that gender and age predicts personal income. Gender and age are the independent variables, and income is the dependent.
The choice of whether a variable is independent or dependent often is driven by the question you're trying to answer. So in many cases it's possible that the same variable could be an independent variable in one analysis, but a dependent variable in a different analysis. For example, while income was the dependent variable in the earlier example, if you were trying to predict whether a child goes to college, the parents' income might be an important independent variable in that case.

What are some examples of a scientific variable?
Some examples of a scientific variable is Independent Variable Control Variables :)
What is definition and examples of dependent variable and independent variable?
I'm doing a science project on if fingerprint patterns are inherited? what is the control, independent variable and dependent variable? An ''independent variable is a ''variable which is presumed to affect or determine a dependent ''variable. independent variable is typically the variable being manipulated or changed and the dependent variable is the observed result of the independent variable being manipulated.'''''' Example; In price and sales relationship one can manipulate price to check its effect on sales, so sale is dependent and price is independent variable.
Is the independent axis on the x axis?
Generally speaking, yes. The variable x is generally used as the independent variable. And y is generally the variable the depends on the value of x. So in most examples the x axis and the "independent" axis are the same.
Non examples of independent and dependent variables?
doesn't have to have a variable of any thing !!!
What is the difference between independent variable and a constant variable?
A constant is something that will ALWAYS remain the same in your experiment. For instance, the materials you use and the unit of measurements you use are examples of constants. An independent variable changes with the experiments.
What is the manipulating variable the dependent variable or the independent variable?
The independent variable.
The variable which is deliberately changed in experiment?
Independent, it is in the name, more variables are: dependant variable- the one you keep the same control variable- mearsuring variable
Independent and independent variable in sentence?
Changes in the independent variable are independent of changes in any other variable,
What is the test variable (independent variable) in the experiment?
The independent variable.
What is the diffrence between dependent variable and independent variable?
the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.
What is the dependent and independent in a experiment?
The independent variable of an experiment is the variable that you change, and the dependent variable is the result of the independent variable.
Does the independent or dependent variable change?
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.
