An independent variable is a variable that you can control, you can choose and manipulate this variable.
An example is an experiment looking at the growth of trees in the Dark, in a dimly lit room and in the direct sun. So you are going to put one plant in the sun, one in the dark and another in a dimly lit room.
The independent variable is the location of the experiment, because this is what is being changed.
The dependent variable may be the type of the plants and the height of the plants to begin with,
The results on which is determined by the independent variable (ie amount of sunlight on the plants)
So basically, without the independent variable you cannot really measure the full extent of the results.
Uhm, I hope that makes sense, haha.
What else can I help you with?
What does idependent variable mean?
a variable that has changed in an experiment
What an idependent variable?
It is the kind of variable that you purposely change.

How are resources inter dependent?
The dependent variable depends on the idependent variable
Which variable goes on the x axis and why?
An independent variable - if there is one - goes on the x- axis. There may not be an idependent variable: for example in a graph of peoples' height v weight (mass).An independent variable - if there is one - goes on the x- axis.

What does an idependent variable mean in science?
the part in the experiment that a scientist purposely changes
What are the values of the idependent variable and the dependent variable?
the independent variable is usually assigned to x the dependent variable is usually assigned to y their values will vary because they are variables. that is the definition of variable
Why are control groups used in statistical studies?
Because its the group for which the idependent variable is help constand in a statistical study.
What variable is distance on a distance-time graph?
Distance is usually represented on the y-axis of a distance-time graph. The x-axis typically represents time.
Is XHTML platform idependent?
yes.
Instructions for carrying out a science experiment?
The Scientific Method 1) Observe- use the five senses 2) Hypothesis- a proposed explanation for observation; an educated guess 3)Experiment- a procedure used to test a hypothesis -find the independent variable(variable that changes during experiment) -Find the dependent variable(variable that changes in response to the idependent variable) 4) data- write down everything you observe about the experiment. 5) Conclusion!!!!
What is the definition of idependent variable?
An independent variable is a part of an experiment that might change due to the outcome not being a desired result. The person conducting an experiment about how a medicine might affect a person, might change the number of people tested to gain more insight into the results. The independent variable in that situation would be the number of test subjects.
