Independent Variables: what is being manipulated

Dependent Variables: what is the outcome of the manipulation

For example:

A researcher wants to see if listening to Classical Music as a child affects intelligence for later in life.

IV: Types of music; Classical

DV: intelligence

What is the differences between independent and dependent variables?

One is dependent and one is independent


What is a factor in a experiment that you measure to gather results?

It is a variable. The independent (manipulated) variable is the factor that is different between the control and experimental groups. The dependent variable is the difference resulting from the independent variable. The controlled variables are the factors that are not changed in the experiment between the control and experimental groups.


Factors that distort the way the independent variable affects the dependent variable are referred to as?

The factors that distort the way the independent variable affects the dependent variable are referred to as the double-blinds. The factors try to explore the relationship between the dependent and independent variables.


How many independent variable are there in a controlled experiment?

In a controlled experiment, there is typically one independent variable. This is the variable that researchers manipulate to observe its effect on the dependent variable. Keeping all other variables constant allows for a clear understanding of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. However, some experiments may include multiple independent variables, but each one must be tested in a controlled manner.


What is the difference between independent and dependent variables in an investigation?

In an investigation, the independent variable is the factor that is manipulated or changed by the researcher to observe its effects. In contrast, the dependent variable is the outcome or response that is measured to assess the impact of the independent variable. Essentially, the independent variable is what you change, while the dependent variable is what you observe or measure as a result of that change.

What is the differecnce between independent variables and dependent variables?

Every time the independent variables change, the dependent variables change.Dependent variables cannot change if the independent variables didn't change.

13 What is the relation between dependent and independent variables?

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.


As the independent variable increases the dependent variable does what?

Depends on the relationship between the independent and dependent variables.


Distinguish between independent and dependent variables?

They are respectively the ones you control (independent) and the ones you mesure (dependent).


If the independent variable increases what happens to the dependent variable?

It depends on the relationship, if any, between the independent and dependent variables.


What is the similarities between independent and dependent variables?

Both variables and both part of an experiment.


The difference between the independent and dependent variables?

Independent variables are variables that can be changed in an experiment, while dependent variables are variables that change as a result of an experiment. In other words, independent variables are what you change, and dependent variables are the results of the experiment.


What are the dependent and independent variables in relationship between resistance and current at constant voltage?

dependent variable is current and independent variable is resisitance


What is the line of regression?

line that measures the slope between dependent and independent variables


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 the differences between independent and dependent variables?

Independent variables are controlled or manipulated by the researcher to determine their effect on the dependent variable. Dependent variables, on the other hand, are the outcome or response that is measured in an experiment. The independent variable causes a change in the dependent variable.
