Question

To test a scientific hypothesis you would
a. use the results of only the experiments that confirm the hypothesis.
b. set up an experiment and look at the results.
c. find the best result and report only that result.
d. set up many experiments and look at the results. E. perform any physics experiment and look at the results.

Answer 1

D . you need to do the experiment three times and find the average of those outcomes. you can also do it more than three times, but three is the minimum.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. Set up many experiments and look at the results

Explanation:

A hypothesis refers to a possible explanation of a phenomenon that needs to be proven through to become valid. Because of this, for proving a hypothesis it is necessary to design and apply different experiments and then check the results in all of them. Multiple experiments and not only one experiment is required as variables and slight changes can modify the result and show a hypothesis is valid or invalid even if it is not. This applies to almost any type of experiment and in any field including science, biology, astronomy, psychology, social studies, etc. Considering this, it can be concluded to test a scientific hypothesis you would "set up many experiments and look at the results".
