What is the control group, independent variable, and dependent variable in this problem?

Smithers thinks that a special juice will increase the productivity of workers. He creates two groups of 50 workers each and assigns each group the same task(in this case, they're supposed to staple a set of papers.) Group A is given the special juice to drink while they work. Group B is not given the special juice. After an hour, Smithers counts how many stacks of papers each group has made. Group A made 1,587 stacks, Group B made 2,113 stacks.|||Control Group:


Group B, which has no juice.





Independent Variable:


Groups A and B





Dependent Variable:


The number of stacks of paper
