Question

A scientist who conducted an experiment obtained an unexpected result. What will she most likely do with the unexpected result?

Answer 1

Answer:

If a scientist gets unexpected results from her experiments, she should carry out the same for some more time so that the unexpected inference can be confirmed and a sure conclusion can be reached.

She should publish the total experiment along with the results in some scientific journal to get it reviewed and approved for making it a notion.

Answer 2

Let me give this a try;

• Scientists are meant to research, the research must definitely bring up final results and observations.
• In a case where an experiment has been done but the observations found are unexpected then the best thing for the scientist to do is to record the observation found before embarking on the repeat of the experiment.
• The results collected may not be as expected because; the scientist may have skipped a step or may have used contaminated reagents in that case.
