In a scientific experiment it is common to split your sample into (at least) two groups. Say you were to study the effect of a new drug on a specific condition, you would have a sample (a group of people with the condition in question e.g. breast cancer), and you would treat all members of the sample the same, with the exception that one group is give the actual drug, and the other group is given a "fake" pill. This fake pill is also called a placebo. The group that is given the real drug is called the experimental group, and the group that is give the placebo is called the control group. This setup attempts to ensure that any effect that is observed is caused by the drug (the experimental condition).

What in an experiment is the standard used to compare with the outcome?
In an experiment, the standard used to compare with the outcome is called the control group. The control group is a group that is not exposed to the experimental treatment and is used as a baseline for comparison to determine the effects of the treatment on the experimental group.
What is an example of an experimental group?
An experimental group is a group of subjects in an experiment that receives the treatment or intervention being studied. For example, in a study looking at the effects of a new drug on blood pressure, the group that is given the drug would be considered the experimental group.
Which factor distinguishes the experimental group from the control group a conclusion a variable a hypothesis a theory?
The factor that distinguishes the experimental group from the control group is a variable. Specifically, it is the independent variable that is manipulated in the experimental group to observe its effect, while the control group remains unchanged to provide a baseline for comparison. A conclusion, hypothesis, and theory are related to the research process but do not serve this distinguishing purpose.
What is an experimental control?
A group of experimental subjects that is not exposed to a chemical or treatment being investigated so that it can be compared with experimental groups that are exposed to the chemical or treatment. cw: An experimental control may be the control group. In general, the experimental control is something that allows you to say that the treatment effects on the experimental group are due to the treatments, rather than anything else.
What is the control group used for?
The control group in a scientific experiment is used as a baseline for comparison against the experimental group. It allows researchers to determine whether any changes or effects observed in the experimental group are due to the manipulated variable and not to other external factors.
In a controlled environment which group experience the test?
Experimental group
What is the group that receeives the experimental treatment?
The group that receives the experimental treatment is typically referred to as the experimental group. This group is exposed to the intervention or experimental manipulation being studied. Data from the experimental group is compared to a control group to evaluate the effects of the treatment.
An investigation in which a group that receives some experimental treatment is compared to a group that does not receive the experimental treatment is called?
The group which does not receive experimental treatment is the control group, the group which does receive the treatment is the experimental group.
In a controlled experiment what is the experimental group compared to?
The control group.
The experimental group and the?
Learn about the difference between the control group and the experimental group in a scientific experiment.
Is an investigation in which a group that receives some experimental treatment is compared to a group that does not receive the experimental treatment.?
An investigation in which a group that receives some experimental treatment is compared to a group that does not receive the experimental treatment can be called a placebo-controlled study or a comparative experiment, both of which are types of clinical studies. The group receiving the experimental treatment is called the treatment group, and the group that is not receiving the experimental treatment is called the control group.
What is the difference of control group and the experimental group?
Experimental group has been exposed to the independent variable whereas the control group has not, and is often used to compare the experimental group's results against.
What conditions must be met if you want to have a scientifically valid sample for a study?
You must have a control group, an experimental group, an experimental variable (also called the independent variable), and a response to be measured (also called the dependent variable). The experimental variable is applied only to the experimental group, so that any difference between the control group and experimental group is due only to the experimental variable. Both the control group and experimental group must have the same conditions, except for the experimental variable.
In an experiment the group that is exposed to the variable to be tested is called the?
control group
What is the difference between a control groups and experimental groups?
The control is a group that is held constant and is not experimented with, The experimental group is the group that is experimented with
What is a group that is altered in an experiment?
The experimental group is altered because it is affected by the experimental variable.
What is the opposite of group?
The experimental group
