A scientist in Germany published his findings from a scientific investigation that he conducted. Other scientists from around the world conducted similar investigations to test the results. All of the investigations result in similar findings. What does this say about the findings of these investigations? (1 point)

They are ready to be published in the media and in textbooks as a new scientific theory.

They have been proven to be scientific fact because all the investigations gave similar findings.

The results are considered more reliable because they were documented by separate investigations.

The findings are automatically promoted to a law because they were proven by so many scientists.

The results are considered more reliable, based off the fact that when other scientists redid his experiment they found similar results but it’s not enough evidence to be more

Answer: The results are considered more reliable because they were documented by separate investigations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific investigation can be define as the fact finding inquiry which uses a particular scientific methodology (observation, making hypothesis, testing hypothesis on the basis of experiments, analysis of the data and conclusion) to answer questions related to the cause of natural events and processes occurring in the universe.

If same investigation done by many scientists and if they obtain similar results this increases the reliability and validity of the methodology and approach used to answer the query of the investigation.
