Ascientist, dr. sigma, states that a chemical taken internally once a day will prevent the common cold. however, no other scientist is able to duplicate the results. the statement by dr. sigma is . a lawb. a hypothesisc. a theoryd. not valid

d. not valid

Explanation:

In the scientific method an experiment is a set of actions about phenomena. The experiment is fundamental in the empirical approach to the acquisition of a deeper knowledge about the physical world. Depending on the philosophical perspective an experience can lead to objective and complete understanding of the physical world or just an aid in improving subjective knowledge through fallibilism. Dr. Sigma's statement about a chemical that if taken internally once a day will prevent the common cold, must have come about through a scientific experiment. However, Dr Sigma's conclusions cannot be considered valid.

This is because, for the conclusions made through an experiment to be considered valid and correct, other scientists must be able to duplicate the results. No scientist has been able to duplicate the results found by Dr. Sigma, so we can conclude that Dr. Sigma's statement is invalid.

age might have something to do with behavior depending on the age because not everyone who is the same age acts the same like 2 year olds could have bad behavior but some won't.

i hope this : )
