What is the independent dependent and control variable if you are asking people what are their fears to see if phobias depend on gender and age?

The independent variable would be either gender or age (should choose one or hold 2 experiments) the dependent variable is the phobia the control would be the things similar between every person questioned


Why do you called independent variable independent variable?

The independent variable is called independent because it is the variable that is being manipulated or changed by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable. It is independent of any other factors in the experiment because its values are determined by the researcher's actions.


Independent variable and dependent variable for colours effect on emotion?

If you are doing an experiment to find colour's effect on emotions, the coulour would be the independent variable because it is what you are controlling, and the emotions would be the dependent variable because they are the results.


What are the elements of experiments and what kinds of variables are there?

The elements of experiments include the independent variable (manipulated by the researcher), dependent variable (outcome being measured), control group (not exposed to the independent variable), and experimental group (exposed to the independent variable). Variables can be independent (controlled by the researcher), dependent (measured to see the effect of the independent variable), or extraneous (unintended variables that can affect the results).


Does the dependent variable depend on the independent variable?

Yes, the dependent variable is influenced by changes in the independent variable. The relationship between the two variables is typically investigated through statistical analysis to determine the extent of this influence.

Is age an independent variable or a depnedent variable?

It depends on the experiment. In an experiment, the independent variable is the one whose value is changed by the scientist. The change in the dependent variable is studied to see if it correlates to the change in the independent variable.But because age is only dependent on the passage time, which can't be affected very easily, it's probably the independent variable.


What does independent variable and dependent variable mean?

The independent variable is the variable that the scientist controls and can change in an experiment. There should be only one independent variable in an experiment; otherwise the cause-and-effect of the independent variable cannot be determined.The dependent variable is the variable that is affected by the independent variable.EXAMPLE:Students of the same age have been given different sleeping hours (the independent variable)The next day they are tested for their performance (the dependent variable).(Having students the same age is a third type of variable, called the constant variable or the control variable. It is deliberately kept the same to reduce any effects on the outcome.)


What does independent variable mean in math?

An independent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure. For example, someone's age might be an independent variable.


In a experiment?

A control in an experiment is the subject not exposed to the independent variable, thereby determining whether the independent variable is the true cause of the results.


Is it true that functions take in values of the independent variable?

Sometimes. There need not be any independent variable - if the variables are all intercorrelated through feedback.


True or false The independent variable is the variable that is changed in an experiment?

false


In order for a function to be one-to-one no two independent variable values may yield the same value of the dependent variable?

True


What is the independent variable?

Any variable can be the independent variable. It depends partly on what the dependent variable is, partly on the relationship you are examining. For example, if looking at age and length of children's feet, foot length would be considered the dependent variable. But if looking at foot length and shoe size, then foot length would be the independent variable.


Are variable in an experiment can change True or False?

A variable does and must change, but you can only have one variable, otherwise the experiment becomes biased and unfair


Is it true or false that a dependent variable is a factor that stays the same in an experiment?

False. A dependent variable is a factor in an experiment that is being measured or observed and is influenced by the independent variable. It is used to determine the effect of changes made to the independent variable.
