Answer:

Explanation:

In the scenario that is being described the control group would be the 50 men that have been given the placebo because they are the ones that should not have any effects from the placebo and that is by design. The manipulated variable is the new fat-burning pill because it is the one that the scientists can change and modify to try and achieve the desired results. Lastly, the responding variable are the 50 men who are given the new fat-burning pill because they are the ones that will be responding to the effects of the pill and providing the data needed by the scientists.
