The outcome variable is what the independent variable changes. The outcome variable is what happens when the independent variable effects the dependent variable

An independent variable, sometimes called an experimental or predictor variable, is a variable that is being manipulated in an experiment in order to observe the effect on a dependent variable, sometimes called an outcome variable.
