Question

select the statement(s) that accurately describe the next steps after a conclusion is written. if data fails to support the hypothesis in the conclusion, then the scientists can repeat the experiment to see if there were any missed steps or inaccurate measurements. if data fails to support the hypothesis in the conclusion, then the data should be altered so that the hypothesis is supported. if a hypothesis is supported by data in the conclusion, then the study can be presented for peer review to validate the findings. if data fails to support the hypothesis in the conclusion, then the scientist can use the information to create a new hypothesis and conduct a new study. if data fails to support the hypothesis in the conclusion, then the scientist can go back and review procedures, ensuring that all steps are present.

Explanation:

• Altering data (second option) is unethical in science. Valid steps after conclusion: repeat experiment (check errors), present supported study for peer review, create new hypothesis/study with unsupported data, or review procedures.

Answer:

• If data fails to support the hypothesis in the conclusion, then the scientists can repeat the experiment to see if there were any missed steps or inaccurate measurements.
• If a hypothesis is supported by data in the conclusion, then the study can be presented for peer review to validate the findings.
• If data fails to support the hypothesis in the conclusion, then the scientist can use the information to create a new hypothesis and conduct a new study.
• If data fails to support the hypothesis in the conclusion, then the scientist can go back and review procedures, ensuring that all steps are present.
