Detailed explanation-1: -What is the difference between a control group and an experimental group? An experimental group, also known as a treatment group, receives the treatment whose effect researchers wish to study, whereas a control group does not.

Detailed explanation-2: -The between groups t-test is used when we have a continuous dependent variable and we are interested in comparing two groups. An example might be if there is experiment with an experimental and control group, or perhaps a comparison between two non-experimental groups like women and men.

Detailed explanation-3: -A controlled experiment is defined as an experiment in which all the variable factors in an experimental group and a comparison control group are kept the same except for one variable factor in the experimental group that is changed or altered.

Detailed explanation-4: -A control group is used as a comparison for the experimental group. The control group is the group in an experiment that does not receive any change in the variable.
