N an experiment the "control" is the group of people or object this is used to measure the effect of the variable. The "control" is the thing that does not change and is not the thing in question.

Example: You want to test a drug. you get a group of 40 people. 20 people are given the pill, 20 people are not given the pill but a sugar pill. the people who have the pill is the "variable" and the people who dont have the pill is the "control".

What happens to the total population when the birth rate is at 40 and the death rate is at 15?
Trava [24]

If the birth rate in a population is 40, and the death rate in that population is 15, then the population will be experiencing growth. The growth will be 25 on every 1,000 people. If this trend continues for longer period, then the population will start to become younger and younger, making the basis of the population pyramid wider, while the top part of it smaller and smaller. This demographic situation in modern times seems to be present only in the less developed countries, with the majority of the transitioning countries having much decreased population growth, and the more developed countries having more deaths than births, thus being aging populations.
