Dajuan is studying the effect of the amount of lactobacillus bacteria in yogurt on its viscosity. He chooses two amounts of lactobacillus bacteria, the standard amount and an increased amount.

In this situation, the amount of lactobacillus bacteria in yogurt is called the independent variable. This is because it is the variable that Dajuan is manipulating to observe its effect on the viscosity of the yogurt, which is the dependent variable.
