experimental control
The experimental control is what you compare your experimental data with. Without the control, you can't tell if the variable you are testing is what is causing your results.
experimental control
EXPERIMENTAL SET UP * involves the set up that will allow you to investigate what you are interested to know. CONTROL SET UP * involves a set up that is exactly the same as the experimental, except the factor that you hypothesis to influence the results.
control setup
pure -absolute control Quasi -have some control
the control group does not receive receive an experimental treatment but stay in the same environment.
A control sample or control group is used to compare with the experimental group or sample. The control sample ideally, should be exactly the same as the experimental sample except that you don't give your experimental treatment to the control sample. Afterwards you compare the 2 samples to see if your experimental treatment had any kind of effect. The control is like a reference point.
control groups are those which you keep constant you don't do anything to them and experimental groups are the ones which you are adding something to it to see what happens
control group
The control is a group that is held constant and is not experimented with, The experimental group is the group that is experimented with
