Control groups/Quiz

Control groups is an effort, in a lecture format, to describe the components of a control group, often as applied in the performance of experimentation.

You are free to take this quiz based on the lecture/article control group at any time.

To improve your score, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, External links, and in the template. This should give you adequate background to get 100 %.

As a "learning by doing" resource, this quiz helps you to assess your knowledge and understanding of the information, and it is a quiz you may take over and over as a learning resource to improve your knowledge, understanding, test-taking skills, and your score.

Suggestion: Have the lecture available in a separate window.

To master the information and use only your memory while taking the quiz, try rewriting the information from more familiar points of view, or be creative with association.

Enjoy learning by doing!

{True or False, A control group may have originated with a dominant group wanting others beneath themselves to be used to test novel cures so that they, the dominant group, would suffer no harm until the novel technique was proven. + TRUE - FALSE
 * type=""}

Hypotheses

 * 1) A control group can be used to study dominant groups, even though control group is a synonym for dominant group when the control group actually rules others.
