although the original samples may have been made with specific
compositions, the operation of the meter will take a known
resistivity and predict the composition. Hence resistivity really is
the independent variable, and composition is the dependent variable.
You don't want to go down that rabbit-hole. Yeah, I know people
have been taught since third grade to distinguish "dependent"
from "independent" variables, but that doesn't make it right.
This is a distinction found in schoolbooks but not in the real
world.
