You are conducting an experiment to test the hypothesis that apple trees will produce larger fruit when exposed to music. You have 10 experimental trees that are exposed to different amounts of music. Which of the following is accurate about your control group?

a. The control group should be exposed to a different type of music.
b. The control group should be exposed to music all the time.
c. The control group shouldn’t be exposed to music, but otherwise treated the same as the experimental groups
d. The control group should be exposed to music at a different time of day.

According to my research on the scientific method, I can say that based on the information provided within the question in this experiment the control group shouldn’t be exposed to music, but otherwise treated the same as the experimental groups. This is because in an experiment a control group is a group that the researcher control every aspect of, this group needs to be treated exactly like all the other groups but with the absence of the variable that is being tested on the other groups. Which in this experiment would be the music.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
