im testing which skateboard wheels are the best for speed and turns. im riding the skateboard, and i think that the control group is the skateboard and the skater (which is me), since im not changing it can some1 tell the difference between the control and experimental group and tell me which things r MY control and experimental group. TY!!!!|||Normally you would need several different conditions to have a control group and experimental groups. Say if you were trying new wheels on your skateboard, the control group would be the skatebord and skater before the trial, and the experimental groups would be groups with the new wheels. Then you find your results by comparing the findingas from experimental groups to your first control group.
hope this helps!|||You are not the control. You are a constant factor across all experiments. Just like gravity is constant across any experiments you do, it is a non-factor because it is in all experiments it cancels out.
Your control needs to be the 'stock" wheels that came on your skateboard.
Run your control tests with those wheels. Try to keep the tests simple and easy to reproduce.
Then you can test other wheels and see how they compare to the control.
In your case, if you are testing 10 types of wheels, any set can be the control as they are the ones that you use for your "baseline" comparison and everything else is compared to that baseline.
|||skateboard wheels are the experimental group b/c they are what is changing. The skateboard is the control, as well as the turns (I'm assuming you're using the same path w/ all wheels). You're kind of one of the controls, but a weak one b/c you're status can't be controlled, it's not uniform. But you have the right idea.
