1.What are independent
variables? Give an
example.

2.What are dependent variables? Give an example.

Answer 1

Independent Variable is a variable (often denoted by x) whose variation does not depend on that of another.

Example: A scientist is testing the effect of light and dark on the behavior of moths by turning a light on and off. The independent variable is the amount of light

Dependent Variable is a variable (often denoted by y) whose value depends on that of another.

Example: A scientist is testing the effect of light and dark on the behavior of moths by turning a light on and off. The moth's reaction is the dependent variable.

Answer 2

Answer 1:

a variable whose value depends on that of another

Example 1:

In a study to determine whether how long a student sleeps affects test scores, the independent variable is the length of time spent sleeping while the dependent variable is the test score.

Answer 2:

a variable whose variation does not depend on that of another.

Example 2:

The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured or tested in an experiment. For example, in a study looking at how tutoring impacts test scores, the dependent variable would be the participants' test scores, since that is what is being measured.
