The independent variable goes on the x axis. This is the variable that is controlled and changed by the experimenter. The dependent variable goes on the y axis. This is the variable that is measured. For instance, if we were plotting a graph of the speed of a ball bearing for different gradient slopes, we would put the gradient of the slopes on the x axis, and the speed of the ball bearing on the y axis.
What else can I help you with?
Manipulated variable is also known as?
The manipulated variable is your independent variable. This gets plotted along the x-axis on a graph, and your dependent variable gets plotted along the y axis. Example- think of a velocity-time graph (physics), or a dose-response graph (pharmacology). The variable you are able to control (like time or dose) is your manipulated variable, and the variable whose value is contingent on how you manipulate the first is your dependent variable (drug response etc.)
What is the difference between a manipulated and responding variable?
Manipulated variables are also known as independent variables. These are the variable which you change in an investigation. Plotted on the x axis.
The responding variable is displayed on what axis?
By convention, the variable that is changed (the independent variable) is displayed along the horizontal or x-axis. The variable that is measured (the dependent variable) is plotted along the vertical or y-axis. A responding variable is a dependent variable and would go along the y axis
A variable that changes as a result of the other variable?
The dependent variable.
Is a dependent variable the result of an experiment?
This decision is up to the experimenter.For example if you wished to explore whether folk grew taller as they grew older, then you'd plot the height of your subjects against their height.The Age is the controlling variable, and their Height is the dependent variable. From this you'd get a plot of Age (horizontal axis) against height (vertical axis).Dependent doesn't mean it depends upon the nature of the variable; rather its plot depends upon the results of the experiment. And by convention is plotted on the vertical (Y) axis.
When your independent variable is plotted on the xaxis and the dependent variable is plotted on the yaxis?
.... then your graph is inverted.
What is plotted on y axis?
Normally, the dependent variable is plotted on the y-axis and the independent variable is plotted on the x-axis.
What is plotted on the y axis?
Normally, the dependent variable is plotted on the y-axis and the independent variable is plotted on the x-axis.
What variable is on the y-axis?
Normally, the dependent variable is plotted on the y-axis and the independent variable is plotted on the x-axis.
What is the variable on the y axis?
Normally, the dependent variable is plotted on the y-axis and the independent variable is plotted on the x-axis.
What variable is plotted on the axis?
The independent variable.
What quantity is plotted horizontally?
The independent variable is typically plotted on the horizontal axis in a graph. This variable is typically manipulated or controlled by the experimenter and is plotted horizontally to show how changes in it relate to the dependent variable.
What variable is plotted on the x-axis?
The independent variable.
How are data plotted on a line graph?
on a line graph, the independent variable is plotted on the horizontal x- axis, and the dependent variable is plotted on the vertical y- axis.
Where On a line graph the dependent variable is plotted on what axis?
The dependent variable is usually plotted on the "y" or ordinal axis.
What is on the y axis?
Normally, the dependent variable is plotted on the y-axis and the independent variable is plotted on the x-axis.
Where is the manipulated variable plotted?
The manipulated variable is typically plotted on the x-axis of a graph. This variable is the one that is deliberately changed or controlled by the researcher in an experiment to observe its effect on the responding variable.
