Question

1. What is the difference between the dependent variable and the independent variable?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The independent variable is the variable the experimenter changes or controls and is assumed to have a direct effect on the dependent variable. ... The dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in an experiment, and is 'dependent' on the independent variable.

The variables in a study of a cause-and-effect relationship are called the independent and dependent variables. The independent variable is the cause. Its value is independent of other variables in your study. The dependent variable is the effect.
