Question

What's the difference between a independent variable and dependent variable

Answer 1

Answer:

The dependent variable depends on the independent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The variable whose values are deliberately changed by the researcher in order to obtain the desired outcome is called independent variable...
• The values of the independent variable can be changed as per requirement, by the researcher...
• Manipulation can be done in the values of independent variable, but the researcher observes the value of a dependent variable during an experiment.
• An independent variable is a presumed cause whereas dependent variable is a measured effect.
• In a simple linear regression, ‘y’ denotes dependent variable while ‘x’ denotes independent variable, which means y depends on x
