In a science experiment, the independent variable is the one you change. For example: if you are doing an experiment on the impact of different types of soil on plant growth, the different types of soil would be your independent variable. The dependent variable is the outcome, or whatever the independent variable directly impacts. In this case, the dependent variable is the height of each plant.

Intervening variable can be measured?

Intervening variables cannot be directly measured because they are theoretical constructs that explain the relationship between the independent and dependent variables in a study. Their impact is inferred based on the relationship between the variables of interest.


Can a correlation have dependant and independent variables?

Yes, a correlation can exist between two variables, regardless of their nature as dependent or independent. The correlation coefficient quantifies the degree of relationship between variables, indicating how changes in one variable are associated with changes in the other. However, correlation does not imply causation.


What is the relationship between the dependent and independat variables?

The dependent variable is influenced by changes in the independent variable. The dependent variable's values depend on the values of the independent variable. This relationship is often explored through statistical analysis in research studies.


What variable changes as a result of changing the variable listed in part a?

The dependent variable changes in response to changes in the independent variable. This change in the dependent variable is measured to determine the impact or relationship between the two variables.


What is the best method to show a comparison between two variables?

It depends on the variables. An example would have been helpful. The difference between chalk and cheese is obvious - you can see and taste the difference. The difference between identical twins, for instance, is rather more difficult - it could be as small as one twin has a little mole, and the other twin doesn't. The more information you can put into your question, the better.

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.


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 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 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.


What is the differences between independent and dependent variables?

One is dependent and one is independent


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.


What is the similarities between independent and dependent variables?

Both variables and both part of an experiment.


As the independent variable increases the dependent variable does what?

Depends on the relationship between the independent and dependent variables.


What type of graph is most useful for making predictions about dependent variables?

A regression graph is most useful for predicting dependent variables, as it shows the relationship between the independent and dependent variables, allowing for the prediction of future values.


What is the difference between the independent variables and the dependent variables in the experiment?

An independent variable can be changed itself and does not vary if other items around it are changed. A dependant variable changes it value in response to changes in other items.


What is the difference between dependent and controlled variables?

The controlled variable is the one that you chose to change while the dependant is the variable that changes because it is effected by the controlled variable


Distinguish between independent and dependent variables?

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