What is an example of dependent value and an independent value?
If you measure the temperature every hour, then time is the independent variable (value), and temperature is the dependent variable (value).
What is an independent variable in algebra?
The variable which is controlled.On a graph, the independent variable is on the x-axis (horizontal) and the dependent variable is on the y-axis (vertical).When we choose a value of x, the value of y depends on the x-value we chose.For instance, if we record the temperature every hour, time is the independent variable because we control the values. The temperature (which is measured) is the dependent variable because it depends on the time.
What are the independent and dependent variables for the phrase Josh mows lawns for extra money He charges 7 dollars per hour?
Independent : Hour Dependent: Money.
If a man tries out a super juice on a group of 50 workers for an hour while they work and another 50 people aren't given anything what is the independent variable?
The independent variable is whatever you change. In your example this would be the super juice. You would measure the amount of work completed; this would be your dependent variable.
What does dependent mean in math?
An independent variable is basically a variable that can be any number. The dependent variable is the variable calculated from the independent variable. For example, I do contract work where I get paid for every hour of work I do in a given week. If I work more hours, my paycheck is bigger. So in this case the number of hours I work is the independent variable (it can, in theory, be anywhere from 0 to 40 or more hours each week), and the dependent variable is the amount on my paycheck (it is a variable too, but it directly depends on the number of hours I worked).
If a man tries out a new power juice on a group of 50 workers while they work for an hour and another 50 workers dont get anything for one hour what is the independent variable?
The independent variable is the variable that is not affected by the results. It is the variable you change to see what the results are. In this example, the independent variable is the use of the new power juice.
What is the difference between a manipulated variable and a responding variable in a controlled experiment?
A variable is something which can change, that is have different values.The proper scientific terms for these are: Dependent and Independent variable. The independent variable is the thing that you vary during an experiment. The dependent variable is what changes as a result of that manipulation.A manipulated variable is the variable which you deliberately alter the value of. So, you will know the values of this variable before you do the experiment. This variable is also called the independent variable.A responding variable is the variable which you have to measure to get your results. So, you do not know the values of this variable until you measure it. This is also called the dependent variable.For example, to find out if your heart rate depends on exercise, you could do different amounts of exercise (the manipulated variable) and measure the heart rate (the responding variable).The above answer is well written, so I will just add a couple of examples.The standard linear equation is defined as 'y = mx + b'. y = 4x + 10, for example, could be charted on a Cartesian coordinates graph as a straight line that has a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of 10. In such linear equations, x would be described as the manipulated, or independent variable, while y would be the responding, or dependent variable.In another example suppose you are traveling in a car at 50 miles per hour. How far would you go if you traveled three hours? In this example, x would be the number of hours traveled, and y would be the total distance traveled in miles. The equation would be y = 50x. In this equation, x is the independent variable, and y is the dependent variable. By substituting 3 for x (because the question asked how far would you go in three hours), we can calculate that you would travel 150 miles. So the distance you travel (y) depends upon how long you traveled (x).
A machine in a soft drink factory fills 800 bottles per hour which is the dependent variable in this situation?
The dependent variable is the number of bottles filled. It depends on the time elapsed since the run began.
What would be the dependent variable time or distance?
The answer depends entirely on what the question is. If you want too know how far you can go while travelling at v kilometres per hour over a period of h hours, then the dependent variable is the distance. If you want too know how long it would take you to go s kilometres when travelling at v kilometres per hour, then the dependent variable is the time.
What does the horizontal axis of a graph show?
Whenever you graph a function where one value is dependent on another in some proportional mathematical way, you represent the independent variable on the horizontal axis and the dependent value on the vertical axis. For example, if a person makes $8 per hour, then you would show hours 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,...etc. on the horizontal (x-axis) axis and the corresponding totals earned for each of the hour values (the values 0, 8, 16, 24, 32...etc - the dependent variable) along the vertical (y-axis) axis.
Give an example of independent variable?
The wages of an employee depend on the time worked. Time is the independent variable that varies among employees, and the wages are calculated directly from the total time worked. Thus wages are dependent on time worked. [taken from Wikipedia2006I] In a call centre, the number of customers serviced per hour, depends on the number of agents, and average service time per customer. In this case number of customers is a dependent variable, entirely dependent on the other two independent variables namely agents, and average service time.
How do you put 65 miles per hour for a number of hours into an algebraic expression?
It is 65 x a variable.
