PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS THE CONTROL GROUP FOR THIS


Hypothesis:
In this section, please include the if/then statements you developed during your lab activity. These statements reflect your predicted outcomes for the experiment.
If predators are increased, then the cricket frog population will (increase/decrease/stay the same) over the span of five years.
If pollution is increased, then the cricket frog population will (increase/decrease/stay the same) over the span of five years.
If the amount of food available is increased, then the cricket frog population will (increase/decrease/stay the same) over the span of five years.

Procedure:
The procedures are listed in your virtual lab. You do not need to repeat them here. Please be sure to identify the test variable (independent variable), outcome variable (dependent variable), and control group for this experiment.
Reminder: The test variable is the item that is changing in this investigation. The outcome variable is the item that you are measuring in this investigation. The control group is the group in the experiment where the factors being tested are not applied. It allows scientists to set a baseline to compare the experimental groups that do have factors applied to them.
Test variable (independent variable): Limiting factor- Food, Pollution, Predators.
Outcome variable (dependent variable): Cricket Frog (population)
Control group:
