work enviroment = independant

likelihood of performing by cash incentives = dependant



The independant variable is the one which is responsible for the bahaviour of the dependant variables value.



For example, snow turns yellow because you pee on it, you dont pee on it because its yellow.. Basic, Basic. The yellow-ness of the snow is dependant on you pee-ing on it lol..
