Question

Which of these is an essential quality of a
successful scientific experiment?
A. It is well funded and profitable to the experimenter.
B. It has been referenced in famous scientific journals.
C. It can be replicated by other experimenters and yield the same
results.

Answer 1

Answer: C. It can be replicated by other experimenters and yield the same results.

Explanation:

Being well funded or profitable is not necessary for a successful experiment, and neither is the notoriety of the publisher. For an experiment to be credible, it must be repeatable based on the methodology and yield the same results. Otherwise, the results of the experiment would not be considered accurate.
