[Campbell Biology P.67] According to the scientific method flowchart presented in Figure 1.... | Practice Question
According to the scientific method flowchart presented in Figure 1.22, if the "Prediction: Reinstalling bulb will fix problem" was made for Hypothesis 2, and the "Test of prediction: Reinstall bulb" resulted in the "Desk lamp doesn't work," what is the conclusion regarding Hypothesis 2?
Explanation
The flowchart in Figure 1.22 clearly illustrates that if the 'Test of prediction' results in the 'Desk lamp doesn't work' when the prediction was that it would work, then the 'Result' block explicitly states 'Hypothesis is not supported.' This directly applies to Hypothesis 2 in the given scenario.
