The dependent variable which is measured. or Manipulated variable which is changed by the experimenter.
In an experiment the independent is the stimulus, the thing controlled or applied by the experimenter. The dependent variable is the response, the reaction to the independent variable.
The experimenter decides on a set of values for the independent variable, then measures the value of the dependent variable for each one.
The three variables of a science project are: 1. Controlled variable: A controlled variable means the part of the experiment that stays the same. This is also called the dependent variable. 2. Manipulated variable: A manipulated variable is something that can be changed by the experimenter. Also known as the independent variable. 3. Responding variable: A responding variable is the variable which you have to measure to get your results. So, you do not know the values of this variable until you measure it.
Independent variables
The dependent variable which is measured. or Manipulated variable which is changed by the experimenter.
controlled variable
controlled variable (A+)
It can be but it is equally possible that the experimenter has absolutely no control over the independent variable. For example, in studying the grades of a class in a school, the pupils' gender may be an independent variable of interest. But the experimenter cannot control that variable.
In an experiment the independent is the stimulus, the thing controlled or applied by the experimenter. The dependent variable is the response, the reaction to the independent variable.
The Variable is the one factor that differs in a controlled experiment.
The experimenter decides on a set of values for the independent variable, then measures the value of the dependent variable for each one.
It can be but not always. The experimenter may just have to take the independent variable as it happens.
Independent variable is what you, the experimenter, change or enacts in order to do your experiment
The variable that is changed by experimenter.
