What is the control group?

  • can i have a definition, this is a question i'm stuck with can you identify it for me? smithers thinks that a special juice will increase the productivity of workers. he creates two groups of 50 workers each and assigns each group the same task (in this case, they're supposed to staple a set of papers). Group A is given the special juice to drink while the work. Group B is not given the special juice. after an hour, smithers counts how many stacks of papers each group has made. Group A made 1,587 stacks, Group B made 2,113 stacks. haha its based on the simpsons but yeah please identify the control group and can you give me a simple to understand definition? :)

  • Answer:

    The control is the group that didn't receive the experimentation. It is basically something to compare the group that is experimented on to. So, group B is the control group.
