The is controlled by the experimenter, while the represents the information collected and statistically analyzed by the experimenter.

The Independent Variable is controlled by the experimenter, while the Dependent Variable represents the information collected and statistically analyzed by the experimenter.

Independent Variable Define:

It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure.

For example, in an experiment on the impact of sleep deprivation on test performance, sleep deprivation would be the independent variable.

Dependent Variable Define:

The dependent variable (sometimes known as the responding variable) is what is being studied and measured in the experiment.

An example of a dependent variable is how tall you are at different ages. The dependent variable (height) depends on the independent variable (age).
