Lesson 8: Understand Dependent and Independent Variables

Property.

Section 1

Identifying Independent and Dependent Variables

Property

In a relationship between two quantities, the independent variable is the quantity that is changed or controlled (the cause).
The dependent variable is the quantity that is measured or observed as a result (the effect).

Examples

Section 2

Identifying Multiple Independent Variables

Property

A single dependent variable, DD, can be influenced by several independent variables, I1,I2,I_1, I_2, \dots. Each independent variable contributes to the change in the dependent variable.
