The factor by which an experimental group differs?
In an experimental design comparing two groups in which one group gets one treatment and another group gets a second treatment, the experimental group is the group with the "different" treatment. The control is the "usual" treatment; the experimental group gets the "new" treatment. Of course, things get complicated with more complicated "experiments."
An investigation in which a group that receives some experimental treatment is compared to a group that does not receive the experimental treatment is called?
The group which does not receive experimental treatment is the control group, the group which does receive the treatment is the experimental group.
In a controlled experiment what is the experimental group compared to?
The control group.
The experimental group and the?
Learn about the difference between the control group and the experimental group in a scientific experiment.
What conditions must be met if you want to have a scientifically valid sample for a study?
You must have a control group, an experimental group, an experimental variable (also called the independent variable), and a response to be measured (also called the dependent variable). The experimental variable is applied only to the experimental group, so that any difference between the control group and experimental group is due only to the experimental variable. Both the control group and experimental group must have the same conditions, except for the experimental variable.
