What is the definition of DEPENDENT VARIABLE?

• In a scientific investigation, the factor that changes as a result of manipulation of one or more independent variables.

• The process of obtaining information by using the senses; the information obtained by using the senses.

• The sum of the items in a data set divided by the number of items in the set; also called average.
