What is the purpose of using a control in scientific experiments?
The experimental control provides a base-line result or set of results, from which you can compare the variables' effects against. It's designed to minimize the effects of variables (other than the single independent variable). Control groups are often included in medical or psychological experiments so that the results of an experiment are considered reliable and trustworthy.Example:A mystery-drug cure is being tested. One group of patients is given the drug and the other group is not. The group without the drug will be subject to all the same conditions that the other group are under, thereby seeking to eliminate any unforeseen effecting environmental factors. This makes it possible to compare, and therefore measure, the impact any drug would have.

Can you explain the probable source of errors in the experimental determination of the number of manual pages?
Errors in the experimental determination of the number of manual pages can arise from factors like inconsistent measurement techniques, human error in counting or recording the pages, environmental conditions affecting the readability of the pages, or equipment limitations impacting the accuracy of the count. It is important to minimize these errors through proper calibration, controls, and repeated measurements.
