A Variable That Can Be Changed Is Called What Kind Of Vraiable?

[cobbsd]

Please answer this question for me.
Thanks.

As a maths graduate (with a specialism in statistics) my answer would be an 'independent variable' but others might refer to it as an 'experimental variable' or a 'predictor variable'.

Independent Variable

Dependent Variable

Constant Variable

How's about a variable variable ..... j/k by the way :)

There appear to be at least two changeable variables. Dependant and independent.

[retrocop]

It varies!

[1ozzy]

So it does.
Independent variable can be what you want it to be.

Dependent variable depends on the independent variable.

Constant variable,,,well,,,that's self explanatory

//The independent variable is the amount of light and the moth's reaction is the dependent variable.//
Quite a nice summing up.

A variable is something that changes, as opposed to a constant, which doesn't. in the equation y=x+1 say, x and y are variables, and if you specify values of x and calculate y then x is the independent variable and y is the dependent (it depends on x) variable. 1 is a constant.

That would be called a tricky variable.:-)
