Question

question 17. results in science are not generally accepted as being accurate until they can be verified. which is an example of repetition in science? a. a student designs an experiment on the distance a toy car travels that includes multiple trials. b. a scientist poses a new question for investigation after reading the results of another scientists work. c. one scientist carries out the same experiment performed by another scientist to validate the results. d. a scientist analyzes the data included in the published work of another scientist and agrees with the conclusions.

Explanation:

In science, repetition involves conducting the same experiment multiple times. Option C describes one scientist carrying out the same experiment performed by another scientist. This is an example of repetition as it is repeating the experimental procedure. Option A is about a single - student's experiment with multiple trials (which is replication within one experiment, not repetition across different scientists). Option B is about formulating a new question (not repetition). Option D is about data analysis and agreement (not repetition).

Answer:

C. One scientist carries out the same experiment performed by another scientist to validate the results.
