Exact or even close population counts are not known. It is thought that Pompeii had a population somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 and Herculaneum a population between 4,000 and 5,000. Very few remains have been found within Herculaneum. Most of the remains have been found on the beach.
Independence. An independent variable is one is manipulated by the researcher. It is like the knob on a dial that the researcher turns. In graphs, it is put on the X-axis. A dependent variable is one which changes as a result of the independent variable being changed, and is put on the Y-axis in graphs.ndependence.

One way to help identify the dependent variable is to remember that it depends on the independent variable. When researchers make changes to the independent variable, they then measure any resulting changes to the dependent variable. If a researcher was looking at how studying influences test scores, for example, the amount of studying would be the independent variable and the test scores would be the dependent variable.
