Dependent Variable
The factor measured at the end of an experiment.
Dependent Variable Simple Definition
Imagine you're baking a cake and you're trying to achieve the perfect level of sweetness. Just like the final taste of the cake depends on the amount of sugar you add, in an experiment, the dependent variable is the factor you measure to see the effect of changes you made. The sweetness of the cake is like the dependent variable because it’s the outcome you assess after adjusting ingredients, just as the dependent variable reflects the results of manipulating other factors in an experiment.
