Distinguish between manipulative experiments and natural experiments

What will be an ideal response?


In manipulative experiments a researcher compares data from an experimental treatment that is
manipulated to data from a control, where nothing is manipulated, to test predictions of a hypothesis.
In natural experiments a researcher uses variation that is already present in data to test predictions of a
hypothesis.
