Transcript text: Conclusions of the scientific method are open to correction, not changeable, open to refinement, infallible
Solution
The answer is: open to correction and open to refinement.
Explanation for each option:
Open to correction: This is correct. The scientific method is inherently iterative and self-correcting. New evidence or better interpretations can lead to the modification or rejection of previous conclusions.
Not changeable: This is incorrect. Scientific conclusions are always subject to change based on new evidence or better understanding.
Open to refinement: This is correct. Scientific conclusions can be refined as more data becomes available or as methods improve, leading to more precise or comprehensive understandings.
Infallible: This is incorrect. Scientific conclusions are not infallible; they are based on the best available evidence and are always open to questioning and testing.
Summary:
Conclusions of the scientific method are open to correction and open to refinement, reflecting the dynamic and evolving nature of scientific inquiry.
