Question

In a controlled experiment, the group not subjected to a change in the independent variable, and used for comparison with the group receiving the experimental change, is the __________ group.

Answer 1

Answer:

So the group not receiving the change is the Control group.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a controlled experiment there will always be a minimum of two groups.

When there two groups in a controlled experiment one of the groups is the controlled group which is not exposed to the independent factor or independent variable being analysed.

The other group is the experimental group which does receive the experimental change.

The participants to each group are randomly placed so that the experiment can be said to be fair.

So the group not receiving the change is the Control group.
