The control group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment. The experimental group receives the treatment being tested. Here, the treatment is the presence of ripe bananas (which produce ethylene to ripen avocados). The bags with three avocados and one banana have the treatment, so they are part of the experimental group.

an experimental group
