Question

How does the control group setup in an experimental differ from the other setups in the same experiment?

Answer 1

A control group setup in an experiment is used to see if there are other variables in play during the experiment. Say I was to test which type of blood is a shark's favorite, my control would be putting red paint in one of the set ups to see if the shark is just interested in the red color of blood, instead of the other types of blood.

Answer 2

The control group does not receive the independent variable during the experiment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The group that will receive the independent variable during the experiment is the experimental group. The dependent variable is what you will measure as a result. The control group is not receiving the independent variable during the group, as it is what you're measuring the experimental group to.
