Sara, a researcher, and her team conduct a study to examine the effect of WakeMe, an energy drink, on the intelligence quotient (IQ) levels of people in a
small district of Casadia. The people of Casadia are randomly divided into two equal groups. Members of one group, Group WM, are made to drink
WakeMe and then take the IQ test. Members of the other group, Group NoWM, are made to drink plain water packaged in WakeMe bottles and then take
the IQ test. In this scenario, who among the following exemplifies the control group?

Respuesta :

Answer:

- Members of Group NoWM.

Explanation:

An experiment involves two distinct groups: control group and the experimental group. The experimental group helps in testing or experimenting a particular thing while the Control group help in measuring the results of the experiment and establish the validity of the experiment.

In the given experiment, the 'members of group NoWM' is the control group as they are assisting in measuring the effect of a specific treatment and make comparison between the results produced by experimental group(impact of energy drink WakeMe). Thus, it helps in proving that whether the experiment actually worked or not.
