Which group in am controlled experiment is not exposed to the experimental variable
The "independent" or "manipulated" variable is changed between the groups.
Experimental group and Control group
Im in 7th grade and i learned it like 3 years ago. its the variable.
By definition, the control group is what the experimental group is measured against. For example, if one is doing an experiment to measure the effect of a drug on blood pressure, the experimental group would receive the drug and the control group would receive the placebo, or blank. The blood pressure of both groups would be measured after ingestion of either the drug or placebo and any differences in blood pressure we would attribute to the effect of the drug. Care must be taken, however, that the two groups are as identical as possible and that all procedures are carried out identically. Furthermore, to eliminate even more bias, both the researchers and the experimental subjects would not know whether they were receiving drug or placebo (a double-blind study).
The controlled group serves as the baseline for comparison in an experiment and does not receive the intervention being tested. The experimental group receives the intervention or treatment being studied to determine its effects. Comparing these groups helps researchers determine if the intervention had an impact.
In an experimental design comparing two groups in which one group gets one treatment and another group gets a second treatment, the experimental group is the group with the "different" treatment. The control is the "usual" treatment; the experimental group gets the "new" treatment. Of course, things get complicated with more complicated "experiments."
a controlled experiment is an experiment that tests only one factor at a time by using a control group and experimental group
Experimental group
This is known as the experimental group.

Which group in am controlled experiment is not exposed to the experimental variable
Experimental group
The "independent" or "manipulated" variable is changed between the groups.
The control group is necessary to know if the factor being tested is making a difference in the experimental group. Both should be subject to the same conditions, except for the one condition or factor being tested on the experimental group. Differences between the outcomes of the two groups, good or bad, can then be attributed to the one factor that is different. Without the control, it would be most difficult to tell what the factor being tested had done, because it's not really possible to tell what would have happened without it.
the experimental group
The group which does not receive experimental treatment is the control group, the group which does receive the treatment is the experimental group.
