What is an Independent Variable

\
A variable whose variation does not depend on that of another and is on the x-axis. (What I change in the experiment)
Something that remains the same
A variable whose value depends on that of another and is on the y-axis (something you measure)
A variable whose value depends on and does not depend on another

The correct answer is: A variable whose value does not depend on another variable in the experiment. It is the variable that is manipulated or changed by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable. The independent variable is typically plotted on the x-axis of a graph.

An Independent Variable is a variable that is manipulated or changed by the researcher in an experiment. It is the variable that is deliberately controlled in order to observe any effects on the dependent variable. The independent variable does not depend on the values of other variables and is typically represented on the x-axis of a graph. In other words, it is the factor that you intentionally change or vary in an experiment.
