Question

An investigator gives the experimental group ginseng and the control group a placebo. In this study, what the groups receive is the _____ variable.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: dependent variable

dependent variable refers To the variable that is influenced by other variables. In the example above, by receiving the treatment (which is an independent variable) , the condition of the group would somehow changed/influenced. this is why they are considered to be a dependent variable.

Answer 2

The answer is dependent variable.

Further Explanation:  

In any experiment, the data from the experimental group are differentiated with the data from the control group. These groups are identical to each other. The basic difference between these two groups is the independent variable change for the experimental group and it remains constant for the control group. A  Single experiment includes multiple experimental groups that are compared with the control group. The main purpose of the control group is to rule out the other factors that influence the result of the experiment. All experiments did not include the interest groups and those experiments that include the control group are called controlled experiments. Often placebo is used in the experiment. It is not the substitute for a control group. In placebo, the subjects undergo placebo experiences the effects of it and also the belief on which it is tested. In the experimental group, the group follows an experimental procedure is to test the sample. The group changes the variable which is independent on which testing is done. The values of the dependent variable are recorded. Control groups are present where experimental conditions are complex and it is very difficult to isolate.
