Yes, think about cause and effect when thinking about this issue. Even to describe or observe a phenomena.
Independent what changes, dependent what
Dependent, Idependent and Control
Independent and dependent are types of variables. These variables are used mostly in science and math. When using independent variables you can control them dependent variables you cannot.
A tentative descriptive statement of the relationship between the variables is called hypothesis
Dependent variable change and independent variables do not change.
the independent variable controls the dependent variables
Every time the independent variables change, the dependent variables change.Dependent variables cannot change if the independent variables didn't change.
it is....
No, there can be several outputs that are dependent variables. For example, you will have a number of grades in different subjects when you finish school. So the experiment (your schooling) will result in a number of dependent variables. Similarly, the school's outcome for its "experiment" of teaching a number of pupils will be several sets exam grades: a different dependent variable for each subject.
The main advantage is that it allows you to see how different dependent variables change according to changes in the same "independent" variable. It is relatively simple to use two vertical axes for the dependent variables, but the degree to which the two axes relate to one another is arbitrary. Furthermore, if the ranges of the dependent variables are very different the chart becomes unreadable.
Independent variables are those that you change in an experiment. Dependent variables are the ones that you measure in an experiment. Dependent variables are influenced by the independent variables that you change, so they are dependent upon the independent variable. Generally, experiments should have only one independent variable.
