In this experiment, what is the variable group and what is the control group?

Suppose a scientist wants to test a new drug to fight the flu. The scientist injects the drug into three people with the flu. The scientist injects a harmless solution into three other people with the flu.|||The variable group is the drug.





The control is the people who get the harmless solution.|||Think of the harmless drug like a placebo, if that makes it easier... He is administering the drug this way so he can see whether or not the drug has any affect on the flu patients. Think of what he is changing in order to test the drug (the variable) and what he is holding constant; that should give you your answer...|||The control group is the harmless solution, and the variable group is the flu group.

What are key institutions that the dominant or majority group must control in order to maintain its power.?

What are some key institutions that the dominant or majority group must control in order to maintain its power? I am having a little trouble here....|||The people, you have to get and maintain a good relationship with people to back you and help out, but you should be willing to 鈥?pay it forward 鈥?as well, within reason. Things like businesses and whatknot like I said STRIVE on good relationships, with other businesses, customers, etc. To help keep them afloat. Most businesses fail either due to horrible customer relations, which can lead to horrible customer feedback, and or they were a good company but the high ups got greedy and charged way too much or added bills or whatever..or new management came in and didnt follow the previous managements cues or completely flipped the business and not enough people bought into it. The people always are the key to me. You have to retain loyal customers, develope new ones, as well as look out for future acquisitions.|||There is only one institution to which, as you put it the dominant or majority group control and are doing it very effectively. This very day. It is being used in 1791 a very learned gentleman. I believe made a statement, " Allow me to issue and control a nation's currency on I care not who makes its laws" and that was made by a fairly prominent banker whose firm is still very active and very much in control along with about nine other people.The banks make the deals they control the Treasury who controls the government.Contrary to how people think the US Federal reserve is a private institution, The Bank of England is a private institution the Bundesbank in Germany is a private institution and et cetera and et cetera are all the big world banks are privately owned there is where your trouble will end or begin in understanding corporate world finance.

When doing an experiment, what is the difference between a control group & an experimental group?

Please give an example.|||Your control group is the thing you do not change.


The experimental group is the thing that you do change.





For example, if you are testing how sunlight affects plants your control group would be a plan getting the necessary sunlight to grow.


Your experimental group would be a plant getting too much sunlight, or a plant that does not get any sunlight at all.

How would a control group of athletes differ from the experimental group?

This ia a biology question i'm stuck with.|||the experimental group sees a change - say nutrition or exercise program





the control group stays the same.

What is the definition of a control group and an experimental group?

Control group


In an experiment or clinical trial) a group of subjects closely resembling the treatment group in many demographic variables but not receiving the active medication or factor under study and thereby serving as a comparison group when treatment results are evaluated.





A control is as close to the experimental group as you can get, but doesn't receive what ever treatment the experimental group gets. If you had to many factors being used on an experimental group you would never know if the "treatment" was what was causing what ever effect took place.|||Control group is the group that is held constant and not experimented with. Experimental is the group tampered with.

How do experimental and control group affect in the experimental research?

These two groups are to show whether a particular drug or any other type of experiment affect the final outcome. For example, Cold Medicine may be given to people with Swine Flu, while the control group receives another substance to see if the outcome is for the better or worse.

What is experimental group and what is control group?

im doing a lab report and it says to describe the experimental group and control group, my lab report is over bacteria %26amp; disinfectants lab.....help!!!|||control group is under normal conditions, experimental group is with some variation you control|||The difference is that the experimental group you are trying something on such as the disinfectant on bacteria





The control group would just allow the bacteria to grow without the disinfectant|||Control group is the one that you don't change.





For example if you are doing a experiement on the affect of fertilizer on plant growth (sorry can't think of a better example) you will have one that has no fertilizer on it. This is the control and you do this to show that the plants aren't just growing well because of other conditions rather then your input variable/ independant (the fertilizer).





So logically the experiment group is the groups that you change the input variable. In the example I gave it would be the amount of fertilizer you put in.|||There is a person or persons doing the experiment.





The experimental group is the one on which the disinfectant will be used.





The control group is the one on which no disinfectant will be used.





The person(s) tabulating the results of the experiment must not know which is the experimental group and which is the control group so that this person(s) bias will not affect the observed results.|||Easy. The whole thing is part of the experiment. Whe you are testing a group of bacteria ( it must all be the same kind and simular in everyway.)


The bacteria is broken into 2 or 3 groups depending on your study. If it is only 2 groups , One group is the control group. This control group has NOTHING done to it. It is just to observe and compare with the second group, the experimental group. The experimental group is the one that gets tested or the one that things are applied to.


If it is a 3 group experiement there is 2 control groups(double blind groups) Hope this helps.|||The experimental group is the one that receives the treatment and the control group is not affected.


In your lab, the experimental group would receive the disinfectant and the control group would not. In this way you can observe what effects the specific disinfectant has on the bacteried judged by the control group.
