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

Should you have more control groups than experimental groups in an experiment?

In an experiment, having more control groups than experimental groups is not a strict requirement; rather, it depends on the specific research question and design. Control groups serve as a baseline to compare the effects of the experimental conditions, so having multiple control groups can help account for variability and confounding factors. However, too many control groups may complicate the analysis and interpretation of results. The key is to balance the number of control and experimental groups to effectively address the research hypothesis while maintaining clarity in the findings.


What do you call the variable that must remain the same between two groups?

The variables that must remain the same between the control group and experimental group is are called controlled variables, and include everything except the experimental variable.


What is the difference between a control group and an experimental group?

Control groups do not test the variable or action. They are a constant comparative base. The experimental group has one different variable. They two are compared to see what affect (if any) the variable has. The control group is not exposed or subjected to what they're testing. The experimental group is. For example, a control group and an experimental group may each consume the same foods, on the same schedule. The experimental group would also receive a nutritional supplement, to see if it had any beneficial effect. This would ideally be the only major difference in the two groups.


The control and experimental groups are treated exactly the same in an investigation yes o no?

Are control groups and experimental groups the same thing?

In a controlled experiment, there are two groups. The control group is a group that nothing happens to. The experimental group is the group that you subject to the variable with which you are experimenting. At the end of the experiment, you test the differences between the control group, for whom nothing happened, and the experimental group, which received the variable. The difference (or similarities) between the two groups is how your results are measured.A control group is the group used for comparison in an experiment. One group receives the treatment that is being tested by the experiment; another group (the control group) has the exact same controlled environment, but does not receive this treatment. The effectiveness of the treatment can then be established by comparison with the control group.

What is the difference between a control groups and experimental groups?

What statement of no difference in experimental treatment?

When setting up an experimental procedure one prepares a control treatment as well as one or more experimental treatments. At the end of the experiment, if there is no difference between the experimental and control groups the experiment is typically said to be not conclusive. With a typical set-up, this result generally fails to lead to a rejection of the null hypothesis.


What do control groups and experimental groups not have in common?

The variable being tested. The difference between the two groups after the experiment will ideally show some effect by the variable element.

Control and experimental groups are identical except for what?

The control and experimental groups differ in that the experimental group is exposed to the treatment or intervention being studied, while the control group is not. This allows researchers to isolate the effects of the treatment and compare it to a baseline.


In a controlled experiment what term is used to describe the many factors that might be different between the experimental and control groups?

variables


What is one factor that will be different between the experimental group in the control group?

The experimental group receives the treatment or intervention being studied, while the control group does not receive the treatment and is used for comparison. This is the primary difference between the two groups in an experiment.


Control and experimental groups are identical except for the?

Independent variable
