Question

in an experiment that is testing the effectiveness of a prescription drug, the scientist gave one group the pill they were testing, but the other group did not receive the pill. what is this an example of? (1 point)
theoretical control
research control
data control
experimental control

Explanation:

In scientific experiments, an experimental control is a group that does not receive the treatment (the pill in this case) being tested. This allows for comparison with the group that does receive the treatment (the experimental group) to determine the effect of the treatment. Theoretical control is more about conceptual ideas, research control is a broad term not specific to this setup, and data control is about managing data. So, this is an example of experimental control.

Answer:

experimental control
