In order to determine the effectiveness of a new vaccine that is alleged to cure "math anxiety," a study was conducted. One thousand volunteer college students enrolled in math courses across the U.S. were chosen. The 1000 students were broken up into two groups. Those enrolled in calculus courses were given the real vaccine. The students in developmental (remedial) math courses were given a fake vaccine consisting of sugared water. None of the students knew whether they were being given the real or the fake vaccine, but the researcher conducting the study knew. At the end of the semester the students were given a test that measured their level of math anxiety. The students in the treatment group showed significantly lower levels of math anxiety than those in the control group. On the basis of this experiment the vaccine was advertised as being highly effective in fighting math anxiety.

The control group in this study consists of
◦ the students chosen from calculus courses.
◦ the students chosen from developmental math courses.
◦ the 1000 volunteer college students used for the study.
◦ This study has no control group because it used volunteers.
◦ none of these
