Question

How is the independent variable different from the dependent variable ?

b. the dependent variable is manipulated during the experiment to understand the effects of this manipulation on the independent variable

c. dependent and independent variables are only used when researchers are not interested in looking at the effects of one thing on another, but only in how varibles may be related

d. the independent variable is a variable not included in the experiment, but is related to one of the variables in the experiment

Explanation / Answer

a) the independent variable is manipulated during the experiment to understand the effects of this manipulation on the dependent variable.

Because, an independent variable can be change during an experiment to note this change in dependent variable or in other words we change or manipulate the independent variable to notice the effect on dependent variable.

We can not change dependent variable. As the name says it depends on another variable. We have to manipulate the independent variable to get the effect of it on dependent variable.
