Controlled group

in an experiment, a group that serves as a standard of comparison with another group to which the control group is identical except one factor.
an experiment where the independent variable is the only factor that is allowed to be adjusted.
in an experiment, the vaiable that is changed or determined by manipulating one or more factors.
the factor that is deliberately manipulated in an experiment.

Sampling

the process of obtaining information by using the senses
a statistical method of obtaining representative data; observations from a group.
an explanation for some phenomenon that is based on observation, experiment, and reasoning.
