The ? variable is the part of the experiment that is affected by the independant variable.

THANKS

:yuck:

i think you are referring to dependent variables, they 'depend' on the independent variables for their values.

[tyroto411]

I have tried dependant but it does not fit. The second letter is A and the seventh letter is E.

[dmoravec]

how many letters total?

[tyroto411]

there are 9 total letters.

[tyroto411]

:cry: PLEASE HELP!!

[dmoravec]

are you sure the 'a' is right, i can't think of anything else right now

[tyroto411]

The A comes from the question,,,, The ? variable is the part of the experiment that is being tested or the part that is changed by the person doing the experiment. Therefore I put Independant causing the A so I hope that is right.

[dmoravec]

it could also be the 'explanatory' variable (thanks wikipedia)

[tyroto411]

Nope that is 10 letters. Is the independant answer right?

[Math Is Hard]

try dependent

[dmoravec]

well i 'explanatory' is 11, but I'd say independent is right, but thats not working with dependent (not that explanatory would) and I can't think of a different word than dependent.

EDIT: I had meant using explanatory instead of independent in my previous post

[tyroto411]

I will just put dependant the old hag prolly spelt it wrong anyway.

[dmoravec]

ah! I see it, its 'dependent' and 'independent' both with an E, that will fix the problem.
