What is a dependent variable?
A. a variable that researchers change to observe how it affects another variable
B. a variable that researchers must control for to limit its effect on the results of the study
C. a variable that researchers measure to see how changes in a different variable affected it
Answer (1)
A dependent variable is the variable that researchers measure to see how it is affected by changes in another variable, known as the independent variable. For example, in an experiment investigating plant growth, the height of the plants would be the dependent variable. It is crucial for understanding the outcomes of experiments in fields such as Biology. ;
