Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dependent variable is the variable being measured that depends on the manipulation of the independent variable. It is called "dependent" because its value is dependent on the value of the independent variable. The other choices are not correct because the experimental variable refers to the variable that is being manipulated, the control variable refers to a variable that is kept constant in an experiment, and the independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed in an experiment to observe the effect on the dependent variable.
