Question

Mandy wanted to see if a new environmentally-friendly pesticide will prevent insect damage to

tomato plants. After making a hypothesis, she conducts her experiment. She treats several

tomato plants with traditional pesticide and several others with the new pesticide. Mandy also

leaves five plants untreated as a control. She makes careful notes of how she set up her

experiment and then records her data about all of the plants. How can Mandy make sure that

her experiment can be replicated by others? *

(1 Point)

O A. Mandy should publish her results in a scientific journal.

O B. Mandy should specify which brands of pesticide she is using.

O C. Mandy should use five plants for each group.

D. Mandy should specify which brands of pesticide she is using as well as use the same number of plants for

each group

Answer 1

Answer: A. Mandy should publish her results in a scientific journal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Research results are generally accepted as truth only after they have been repeated by several people and the same result was seen. It is for this reason that there needs to be enough information from previous research for other researchers to go on.

On way of ensuring this is to publish the results of the research in a scientific journal. These are read primarily by other scientists who will then be able to repeat the experiment to add credence to the results.
