What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between a dependant and independent variable?
a dependent variable is something that you cannot change but comes out as a result/an independent variable is something that you change in your experiment like the temperature of something or the amount of something
What kind of variable do you change?
independent
What is an experiment in which only one factor is allowed to vary?
A valid one. An experiment cannot conclusively prove anything if more than one independent variable is altered at a time. That being said, many dependent variables could show change and the experiment would still be valid, as long as only one independent variable was altered at a time. An experiment that changes only one variable at a time is called a controlled experiment.
What is an example of an independent variable?
a kind of example is the amount of sunlight * * * * * No it is not! The amount of sunlight given out by the sun depends on solar activity. It will be hugely greater in around 4.5 billion years when the sun becomes a red giant. The amount of sunlight incident on some point depends on the location of that point. Somewhere on Mercury will get a lot more sunlight than on Neptune! Also even if you restrict yourself to points on the earth, there are differences between latitudes, the time of year, cloud cover and so on. Even something that is apparently as independent of everything else, such as time, is not quite that independent. Gravity affects it. An independent variable is determined not by the variable itself but by the context of the "experiment". It is (or they are) variable(s) that affect the dependent variables but are not affected by them. An independent variable in one experiment may be the dependent variable in another. For example: age and height of people: I would say that age is independent and height is dependent. height and membership of basketball team: I would say height is independent and membership is dependent.
Importence of controlled variable?
When you dont have a control in an experiment , there is no basis of comparrison. A proper experiment , has an independent variable - purposefully changed - a dependent variable - measured result - a constant (that ones kind of obvious), and a control . When an experiment doesnt have a control , its also harder to draw conclusion. With a control , you have something to base your hypothesis on . If this doesnt help , try checking your textbook or search experimental design on google or ask.com.
What kind of variable causes the dependent to change?
The independent variable, because it isn't affected by the other factors.

What kind of variable is changed to determine how it will affect the dependent variable?
The dependant variable is what you can't change, or decide, and it is affected by the independent variable. EX. If you were to see which liquid is the slowest, the independent variable would be the liquids that you can choose, and the independent variable would be how fast or slow they move, because it depends on what liquids you chose.

independent

What is the independent variable in 100 and 16.6?
Neither 100 nor 16.6 is a variable of any kind.
When the graph of best fit is a straight line the dependent and independent variables have what kind of relationship?
the dependent variable has one value and the independent variable has no value
A straight line on a graph means there is what kind of a relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable?
linear
A student measures the weight of tomatoes produced by pots placed in full sun partial sun and shade what kind of variable is the soil in the potsa a variable to be controlled b independent variable c?
The soil would be a controlled variable. The amount of light is the independent variable. Plant weight is the dependent variable.
Does a correlation tell us anything about cause?
No a correlation method does not prove any kind of cause the only method that will prove Cause and Effect would be a Experiment Lab(hypothesis, Control group, Independent Variable ext...)
