A fish farmer wanted to determine if a new type of fish food would help his fish to grow faster and larger. He believed that his old fish food was better than the new fish food he was asked to try. He divided up his fish into two equal groups. Each group of fish were fed at the same time, contained the same number of fish, and were kept at the same temperature. Group A fish were fed the new fish food and group B fish were fed the old food. After one month the fish farmer measured each group of fish. He found that the fish fed the old fish food were on the average two pounds larger than the fish fed with the new food. What is the experimental group in this experiment?
