Makenna Sheppard · Answer 1

A. If her results support her hypothesis

Explanation:

Experimental methods are geared towards obtaining relevant data that supports an hypothesis.

If data collected through her experimental methods, put in place to prove her hypothesis, does not support her hypothesis, then that shall be a fail calling for revision of the experimental methods used.

If data collected supports her hypothesis then it is proven hence there shall be no use of revising the experimental methods used.

Elliot Garrett · Answer 2

The correct answer is A) if her results support her hypothesis.

The situation that would be least likely for a scientist to revise her experimental methods is if her results support her hypothesis.

That should be the scenario because if the results match her hypothesis, it means that she is correct. When doing research, the scientific method forces scientists to repeat the experiment two, three or as many times needed in order to consider phenomena as real. That is how strict the scientific method is. The results have to be supported by numbers, statistics, and facts.
