RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The control group and experimental group are compared against each other in an experiment. The only difference between the two groups is that the independent variable is changed in the experimental group. The independent variable is “controlled” or held constant in the control group.

Detailed explanation-2: -A group that goes through all of the steps of an experiment but does not contain the variable or active treatment that is being tested is called the control group. A control group acts as a baseline or benchmark for an experiment.

Detailed explanation-3: -The group in a clinical research study that receives the drug, vaccine, or other intervention being tested. Interventions may also include medical procedures (such as radiation therapy and surgery), medical devices, behavior changes (such as diet and exercise), education programs, and counseling.

Detailed explanation-4: -An experimental group consists of participants who are exposed to a particular manipulation of the independent variable. These are the participants who receive the treatment of interest.
