What is the difference between a control variable and a control treatment?

A control variable is a factor that is held constant in an experiment to prevent it from influencing the outcome. A control treatment, on the other hand, is a specific group or condition in an experiment that receives no experimental manipulation and is used as a baseline for comparison with the treatment groups.


What is the difference between control and control group?

I still don't know?


Does the experimental group test the dependent variable?

The effect on the dependent variable will be different in the experimental group than the control group, which is why you measure the dependant variable.


Are control groups and experimental groups the same thing?

In a controlled experiment, there are two groups. The control group is a group that nothing happens to. The experimental group is the group that you subject to the variable with which you are experimenting. At the end of the experiment, you test the differences between the control group, for whom nothing happened, and the experimental group, which received the variable. The difference (or similarities) between the two groups is how your results are measured.A control group is the group used for comparison in an experiment. One group receives the treatment that is being tested by the experiment; another group (the control group) has the exact same controlled environment, but does not receive this treatment. The effectiveness of the treatment can then be established by comparison with the control group.


An investigation that compares the result from a control group with the results of the experimental group is called what?

A study that compares the results of a control group with those of an experimental group is usually referred to as a controlled experiment. This design helps researchers assess the impact of a variable of interest by holding other factors constant.

Why is a control group important to have in a experiment?

A control group is the standard of comparison between what happens with the experimental variable and without the experimental variable.


What is the different between a control group and an experimental group in an experiment?

The control group does not change, while the experimental group is the variable you are changing.

What is the differences between a control and a variable?

A variable changes due to the manipulation whereas the control group does not change allowing baseline comparisons.


What is the variable group and the control group?

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.


The part of an experiment that does not contain the variable is known as?

The part of an experiment that does not contain the variable is known as the control group. This group serves as a baseline for comparison with the group that is exposed to the variable being tested.


Does the control group get the variable?

No it does not
