Answer:

Use of a control group

Step-by-step explanation:

A common use of a control group is an experiment in which the effect of a treatment is uncertain and correlations are used to measure the impact of the treatment between the control group and the experimental group.

For example, in a pharmaceutical study to decide the efficacy of a new medicine on migraine treatment, the new drug will be administered to the experimental group and a placebo (a drug that is inert or assumed to have no effect) will be administered to the control group.
