Question

The variable that a scientist observes to change while conducting an experiment is called the _____ variable. responding independent manipulated

Answer 1

There are different types of variables a Scientist can observe while experimenting, however, the one he expects to get after manipulating the conditions or independent variables of the experiment is the Dependant variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Dependent Variable is the phenomenon that a scientist expects to see after performing his experiment. And even though it is expected in the last part of the experiment it's not the final phase of it. It is used to prove his hypothesis.

First of all, the dependent variable is associated with the independent variable and its the product of all the conditions interactions.

Second, in the first moment, it can't be controlled but it can be studied. Then as we understand his nature and origin we can control it by manipulating the independent variable and the conditions.

Thank you.

Answer 2

The variable that a scientist observes to change while conducting an experiment is called the responding variable .

The responding variable (also called dependent variable) is the variable that a scientist observes to change while conducting a scientific experiment. The responding variable depends on the independent variable (also called manipulated variable). When the independent variable is changed by the scientist, its effect on the responding variable is usually observed and recorded. Responding variables can be observed (such as taste) or measured (such as length) in an experiment.
