Independent variable. An independent variable is used in statistics to predict or explain a dependent variable.

Transcript of Dependent variable is population size and independent is the. Dependent variable is the population size and independent variable is the time in years. The relationship between year and population size for 1950-2010, appears to be linear. y=-4875.021+2.578x represents the relationship of 1950-2010. Every year, US population increases by 2.578 million. 2 3/4 as a decimal is 2.75.
