Dependent and Independent Variable Hypothesis Testing

This document discusses dependent and independent variables. It defines dependent variables as those that depend on or are influenced by other variables, while independent variables influence dependent variables. Several examples are given of situations involving univariate or bivariate data and identifying their dependent and independent variables. The key points are that dependent variables are outcomes or effects, while independent variables are causes that can be manipulated. Identifying these is important for research studies and analyzing relationships between variables.

Identifying Dependent and
Independent Variables
 Objectives:

1. Define dependent and independent

variables; and
2. Identify the dependent and
independent variables in a sentence or
problem.
Determine the variables in each situation below
and determine whether the situation involves
univariate or bivariate data.

A researcher looked into the salary/income and civil


status
of government employees.
BIVARIATE

The veterinarian listed the weight of the new born


puppies.

UNIVARIATE
The school nurse recorded the age and the blood pressure
of the teachers.
UNIVARIATE
A vendor keeps track of how much ice candy they sell
everyday versus the daily temperature.

BIVARIATE

A STEM student surveyed Grade 10 students on the


number of hours spent using cell phone and their
previous grade.
BIVARIATE
Remember : When we are examining bivariate data,
the two variables could depend on each other and one
variable could influence another.
Are You in a Relationship?
Match the pictures in Column A to Column B. Then, answer the questions that
follow.
In the previous activity, you became familiar with
bivariate data. Bivariate data always involve two
variables. One of these variables is the dependent
variable and the other one is the independent variable.

Dependent variable depends on other variables or factors. It


is something that is influenced and affected. It is
also associated with the word effect or outcome.
Independent variable affects the dependent variable. It is
something you have control over, one which you
can choose and manipulate. However, in some
cases, you may not be able to manipulate the
independent variable. It is commonly known as the
cause or the reason behind changes.
The researcher wants to determine the effects of the
use of social media on the academic performance of
students in Mathematics.

The bivariate data in the study are the use of social media and academic
performance.
Academic performance depends on the use of social media, or we can say
that academic performance is affected by the use of social media.
Therefore, independent variable here is the use of social media and the
dependent variable is the academic performance.
Situation : Taking a nap in the afternoon makes people more relaxed
and less irritable for the rest of the day.

If you want to be more relaxed and less irritable, it


depends on the number of hours you take a nap in the
afternoon.
Research Title: Math App (Math Tricks) for Improving
Fundamental Basic Skills and Retention of Grade 11
Students of Sukol Macambol National High Shool

Increasing or improving your fundamental basic skills


and
retention depends on how you frequently
practice or
Connect the dependent and independent variables to
form a correct sentence structure. The first one is given
as an example.

1. Electricity bill depends on the number of kilowatts used in a household

2. The time it takes to run a mile depends on the person’s running speed.

3. The height of a person depends on the genes they


inherit from their parents
Given the Research
Tittle Determine the
Independent and
Dependent Variable.
Research Tittle : The Impact of E-Commerce on
the Consumers Behaviors in Faculty of MNCHS.

The independent Variable is E – COMMERCE and


Dependent Variable is Consumers Behaviors.

Research Tittle : Influence of job satisfaction on


innovative work behaviour of public school
teachers

The independent Variable is Job satisfaction and


the Dependent Variable is Innovative work
behaviour
Research Tittle : Senior High School Strands: Factors
Affecting the Students’ Preference
The Independent variable Factors Affecting Students’
Preference and the Dependent variable is Senior High School
Strands.

Research Tittle : Student’s Money Attitude and


Financial Behavior
The Independent variable Money Attitude and the
Dependent Variable is Financial Variable
Research Tittle : The spiritual Well – being and Money
Attitude of Grade 11 Students In Matiao National High
School

The Independent variable Spiritual Well being and the Dependent


variable is Money Attitude .

Research Tittle : Attitudes Toward Chemistry Lessons and Science


Laboratory Environment of STEM Students in Mati National
Comprehensive High School

The Independent variable Attitudes Towards Chemistry lessons and the


Dependent variable is Science Laboratory Environment .
On the table below, you have sets of variables not
categorized into dependent and independent variables.
Connect the two variables by using depends on to form a
correct sentence structure.

Chance of developing cancer depends on the number of


cigarettes a person smoke.

Global warming depends on how we take care of our


natural resources.
Chance of dropping out depends on the tardiness,
cutting classes, and absenteeism of a student.

Opportunities for high - paying job depends on one’s


educational attainment.

Total calories and fat depend on the number of junk


foods you eat.
