Scientists base many of their investigations on questions that test accepted theories. which outcome of an investigation would cause a scientist to ask a different question? a)the observed results are different from the expected results. b)the investigation had many sources of error. c)another scientist proposed the same theory. d)the expected results could be explained in different ways.
