Question

A scientist conducting an experiment quickly saw that she was not getting the results she expected. Instead of continuing to collect data, she went back to redesign the experiment until the data came out the way that the hypothesis predicted. The scientist’s work did not follow the scientific method. Explain the situation.

Answer 1

Answer: She failed to look at the data objectively by trying to get a desired result.

The situation shows that the scientist already has some expected result in mind probably the experiment is done only to validate his assumptions however, when he did not get it right the first time he deviate from the scientific method and failed to treat the data objectively.
