| The names 'independent variable' and 'dependent variable' make it sound like the dependent variable depends on the independent one and not the other way around. But this is just a [...] you are testing. There may be no relationship at all! | The names 'independent variable' and 'dependent variable' make it sound like the dependent variable depends on the independent one and not the other way around.
