Question

Which statement describes the dependent variable?
a.It is the causal variable
b.It is the controlled variable
c.It is the stimulus variable.
d.It is the measured variable

Answer 1

Try to think of it like this:
The variable DEPENDS on something else so it is the measured variable because it is usually what you are testing for.
For example, if you were doing a study to see how different amounts of water affect plant growth the independent variable would be the different amounts of water and the dependent variable would be the growth of the plant because it is what you are measuring for.
