MaxineA control group is a group that does not receive the experimental treatment and is used as a baseline for comparison, while a variable group is a group that is exposed to the experimental treatment. The control group helps researchers determine the effect of the treatment by providing a reference point.

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?
Yes, the experimental group is typically the group that receives the treatment or intervention being tested, and this treatment is what may cause changes in the dependent 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.
