Step-by-step explanation:
Placebos are not techniques for conducting experiments. They are devices or drugs used when conducting a controlled study or research involving the administering of items to two different groups, such that one group gets the real item while the other group gets another item that is made to look like the real item without the participants knowing the difference. The purpose is to enable the results from the control group to be compared to the results of a treatment group. Randomization is the process used to assign subjects to treatment or control groups in order to reduce bias.
