Questions: Identify the true and false statements about scientific research. True Statement(s) Multiple replications of the same study provide strong support for a theory. Every theory should be falsifiable. False Statement(s) If a researcher tests their hypothesis and the results are as predicted, this proves their theory. If a result does not support a theory, that theory should be discarded.

True Statement(s)

1. Multiple replications of the same study provide strong support for a theory.
2. Every theory should be falsifiable.

False Statement(s)

1. If a researcher tests their hypothesis and the results are as predicted, this proves their theory.
2. If a result does not support a theory, that theory should be discarded.

1. Multiple replications of the same study provide strong support for a theory.
   Replication is a fundamental aspect of scientific research. When a study is replicated multiple times with consistent results, it strengthens the validity and reliability of the findings, thereby providing strong support for the underlying theory.

2. Every theory should be falsifiable.
   According to philosopher Karl Popper, for a theory to be considered scientific, it must be falsifiable. This means that there should be a possibility to prove the theory wrong through observation or experiment.

1. If a researcher tests their hypothesis and the results are as predicted, this proves their theory.
   Scientific theories are never proven; they can only be supported by evidence. Even if results align with predictions, alternative explanations or future evidence could challenge the theory.

2. If a result does not support a theory, that theory should be discarded.
   A single result not supporting a theory does not necessarily mean the theory should be discarded. It may require further investigation, refinement, or consideration of other factors that could have influenced the outcome.
