Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The experimental method involves manipulating an independent variable (the treatment) and observing the effects on a dependent variable (the outcome). In this case, the researcher is manipulating the treatment by providing it to one group and withholding it from another group. This allows the researcher to determine whether the treatment has an effect on the outcome.
