Explanation / Answer

A variable is anything which can be measured or changed during an experimental investigation to perform a task.

Thus variable may be a dependent or an independent one.

When a variable which is essential for an experiment is slightly varied according to the convenience of the investigator, in order to understand the different experimental conditions;it shows a direct effect on other variables which are to be measured or investigated in that experiment.

Therefore the variable which is being changed by the investigator, in order to study different experimental conditions is known as the independent variable.

While the variable which is being measured and is affected by the changes in independent variables is known as dependent variables.
