Asked by Patrick

During a controlled experiment where you purposely change the temperature of the air in a room and you are measuring the effects on plant growth, what is the dependent variable?
I am confused on this.
Is the dependent variable plant growth or is the dependent variable called a manipulated variable?
Answered by PsyDAG
An <B>independent variable</B> is the potential stimulus or cause, usually directly manipulated by the experimenter, so it could also be called a manipulative variable.

A <B>dependent variable</B> is the response or measure of results.
