Step 1

Control groups refer to the standards based on which the data is compared in an experiment. The designing process of these control groups is known as control group design. The majority of the experiments are designed to accommodate control groups and experimental groups. The control group usually stays one and experimental groups can vary in size. The control group designs vary in type based on the type and nature of the experiment.
