Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An experimental group in a research study is the group that is subjected to the change or manipulation that the independent variable represents. This allows researchers to compare the outcomes of this group to a control group, which is not subjected to the manipulation. Option B is incorrect because random assignment refers to the process of randomly assigning participants to different groups, rather than the group itself being experimental. Option C is also incorrect because the group that is not subjected to the manipulated independent variable is likely the control group. Option D is incorrect because the purpose of the experimental group is to measure the response to the independent variable.
