Answer: Revision of hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

If the data that a scientist collects and conclusions that he comes to disagree with his hypothesis, what he/she should should do is a revision of his /her hypothesis

If the hypothesis has not been confirmed, a revision of the hypothesis is in order. Several instances of analysis may take place since the hypothesis might need amendment or it might even be time to reject it and replace it.

ANSWER:

If the data that a scientist collects and the conclusions that he makes disagree with his hypotheses, the scientist should reject the hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Any hypothesis needs to be supported by conclusions that are positive in nature for being accepted.
  • When different experiments show the same conclusion for the hypothesis or support the hypothesis, the hypothesis becomes accepted as a law.
  • On the other hand, when the conclusions do not support the hypothesis even after bringing about minor changes or adjustments to the experiment, the hypothesis should be rejected.
