Hypotheses, dependent and independent variables form a set of tools that help us to create theories about natural phenomena.
The process for investigating a particular phenomenon in nature usually involves three levels. In the first level, observation of facts, phenomena, behaviors and activities takes place; at the second level, we have the hypotheses and finally, at the third level, theories, valid and sustainable hypotheses (those that have been tested) arise.
Dependent Variable are values (phenomena or facts) to be discovered or explained, by virtue of being influenced, determined or affected by the independent variable.
