Question

Yasir wants to determine if there is a relationship between room color and sleep. Based on his research, Yasir makes an educated guess that people fall asleep more quickly in a room painted blue than in a room painted yellow. He asks several people which color they like better—yellow or blue—and uses their responses to determine if his educated guess was correct. What is missing from Yasir's scientific investigation? A. testable hypothesis based on research B. experiment that tests the hypothesis C. variables to be tested by an experiment D. research on the topic to see what others have learned

Answer 1

Answer:

B). An Experiment that tests the hypothesis.

Explanation:

The element that is missing from Yasir's scientific investigation is 'an experiment which tests a hypothesis.' His experiment does not provide a verifiable statement revealing his proposition or prediction regarding the possible outcome of the experiment which could be verified by using a research or investigation. He rather tests his proposition indirectly by asking 'which color they like better' and using it to make an educated guess. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
