Two scientists work together on an experiment, but they have different hypotheses. when the scientists look at the experimental results, they interpret the data in different ways and come to different conclusions. which of the following does this situation best illustrate? a. scientific consensus b. peer review c. selection bias d. confirmation bias

This is an example of confirmation bias.

The term confirmation bias in experiment refer to a situation in which the experimental leans more towards evidences that confirm his/her hypothesis rather than evidences that disprove it.

This type of bias creates a sort of self fulfilling prophecy. The conclusions of the research merely echoes his/her believes and contrary evidences are not given proper consideration.

If two scientists carry out the same experiment having different hypothesis and arrive at different conclusions from the same experimental results; then each of them merely confirmed his/her beliefs without considering the experimental results fairly.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
