The control group is the one that is not manipulated in any way. Suppose we are testing the effect of studying on test scores. The group that did not study would be the control group. The group that did study would be the experimental group.

A control group is a group in an experiment that does not receive the treatment or intervention being tested. It is used as a baseline for comparison to assess the effects of the intervention. For example, in a drug trial, the control group would receive a placebo instead of the actual drug being tested.

Every experiment should have at least one control group. For example if the experiment is what fertilizer is best for plants then the control groups would be the type and amount of water, the soil, and the amount of fertilizer.
