Question

multiple choice 1 point
what happens if you test a hypothesis multiple times and the data doesnt support your prediction?
change the data to support your prediction
run the experiment again until you get the results youre looking for
conclude that your hypothesis cannot be proven
re - think your hypothesis

Explanation:

In the scientific method, if data from multiple tests doesn't support a hypothesis, one should re - evaluate the initial assumptions. Changing data to fit a prediction is unethical and unscientific. Running an experiment repeatedly until getting desired results (without valid scientific reasons) is also wrong. Concluding a hypothesis "cannot be proven" is not the right approach as hypotheses are either supported or not supported, not "proven" in an absolute sense. Re - thinking the hypothesis is the scientific way when data doesn't align.

Answer:

Re - think your hypothesis
