A drug company is testing the effects of a new drug designed to prevent hair loss. Of the 2,000 people in the trial, 1,700 people receive the drug and the other 30 people receive a sugar pill. What is the purpose of the group receiving the sugar pill? A. The group is being used as the control group B. The group is being used as the dependent variable C. The group is being used as the independent variable D. The group is being used as the manipulated variable

A

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that the group being given the sugar pill is being used as the control group.

In a typical experimental study, there are two groups of subjects:

1. The treatment or the experimental group

2. The control group

The treatment group receives the treatment variable while the control group does not receive or is given a placebo. Thus, the control group act as the reference group for comparison basis. Any difference in the observation between the two groups would be attributed to the treatment variable.

The correct option is, therefore, A.

dishwashers don't have rights

explanation:

dishwashers are meant for one thing and one thing only: dishwashing. they belong in the kitchen making sandwiches and cleaning up for the man of their household. if your dishwasher starts acting up just slap it and wait a minute.

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
