Question

What is an experiment in that all factors are identical except the one being tested?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is a controlled experiment.

Explanation:

In a controlled experiment all variables are kept the same, except for the one being tested, which is called the experimental variable , or independent variable . This group is the experimental group . The group that is not affected by the experimental variable is the control group .

Very often a graph will be used to analyze the results of the experiment. The independent/experimental variable is placed on the x-axis and the dependent variable is placed on the y-axis. The dependent variable is what is measured as a result of the application of the experimental variable
