I think of independent and dependent as in real life. Say there’s a person that’s independent meaning they don’t rely on someone. On the other hand if there’s a person that’s dependent they have to rely on someone. I hope this helped

Step-by-step explanation:

A dependent variable depends on the independent variable. The independent variable is what you usually control in a experiment.
