The dependent variable in this example is the "Number of bug bites." The dependent variable is what you are measuring in the experiment, and in this case, it is the effects of the bug repellant (or lack thereof) on the number of bug bites.
In this example:
"A bug repellant is sprayed on one arm the other arm is not sprayed. The number of bug bites is recorded after 2 hours."
What is the dependent variable?
2 hours
Number of bug bites
Bug spray/no bug spray
