Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why is it important for scientists to keep testing a hypothesis even after they’ve found it to be true?
A
Experiments are rarely accurate, so it’s important to keep testing a hypothesis.
B
Scientists can learn experimental procedures through repeated testing of a hypothesis.
C
Repeated tests help determine whether the hypothesis is always true in different circumstances.
D
Repeatedly testing a hypothesis qualifies it to be accepted as a theory.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Experiments are rarely accurate, so it’s important to keep testing a hypothesis. Scientists can learn experimental procedures through repeated testing of a hypothesis. Repeated tests help determine whether the hypothesis is always true in different circumstances.

Detailed explanation-2: -A Scientific Hypothesis Must Be Testable For a hypothesis to be testable means that it is possible to make observations that agree or disagree with it. If a hypothesis cannot be tested by making observations, it is not scientific.

Detailed explanation-3: -Replication is one of the key ways scientists build confidence in the scientific merit of results. When the result from one study is found to be consistent by another study, it is more likely to represent a reliable claim to new knowledge.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Scientists repeat experiments several times because it results in more accurate data that can be trusted over just doing an experiment once.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Scientific Method enables us to test a hypothesis and distinguish between the correlation of two or more things happening in association with each other and the actual cause of the phenomenon we observe. Correlation of two variables cannot explain the cause and effect of their relationship.
