Explanation:

A dependent variable is the outcome being measured in a study, which depends on the independent variable (the factor being manipulated). Here, the independent variable is the clothing of the person giving directions. The outcome we measure is whether participants follow the direction to park in the specified spot. The number of participants who do this is the dependent variable, as it depends on the clothing type (the independent variable).
