Question

scientific inquiry unit review
what is the factor in an experiment that receives standard treatment and is your basis for comparison?
○ dependent variable
○ constant/controlled variable
○ control group/subject
○ independent variable
○ experimental group/subject

Explanation:

• A dependent variable is measured/observed, not the comparison group.
• Constant/controlled variables are kept the same across groups, not the comparison basis.
• An independent variable is the factor tested, not the comparison group.
• The experimental group receives the test treatment, not standard treatment.
• The control group/subject gets standard treatment and serves as the comparison baseline.

Answer:

control group/subject
