Question

The ___ variable responds to the __ variable and goes on the Y-axis.

Answer 1

Answer: 1. Dependent, Independent The dependent variable responds to the independent variable and goes on the Y-axis.

Explanation: The independent variable is controlled or manipulated by the experimenter. For example, someone's age might be an independent variable. Other factors (such as what they eat, how much they go to school, how much television they watch) aren't going to change a person's age.The dependent variable is what you are measuring. For example, a test score could be a dependent variable because it could change depending on several factors such as how much you studied, how much sleep you got the night before you took the test, or even how hungry you were when you took it.

How that helps. :)
