Question

question 1 - 2
a researcher confirms her hypothesis by completing a science experiment. she publishes her work and results in a science - journal. after her work is published, she claims that she has developed a new theory. how will other scientists most likely react to this claim?

• they will support her claim because she supported her data.
• they will reject her new claim because her experiment confirmed her hypothesis.
• they will support her claim because she published her research for others to use.
• they will reject her claim because she is the only person to complete the scientific study.

Explanation:

In science, one - study results aren't enough for a theory. Other scientists need to replicate the experiment. Just publishing research isn't sufficient for acceptance.

Answer:

They will reject her claim because she is the only person to complete the scientific study.
