Answer:

An appellate court can <u>modify</u> a lower court's decision

Explanation:

When a case is tried in a lower court, the losing party is allowed to appeal the lower court's decision if it does not agree with it.

In such instances, the case is then tried in an appellate court. The <u>appellate court, on review of evidence and after hearing the merits of the case, has the power to </u><u>modify</u><u> or reverse the decision of the lower court.</u>

two scientists failed to report unusual findings when they shared from a recent science expriment. Why is this not scientificall
Sedbober [7]

Whenever a research is done, you must reject or accept a null hypothesis (the one you consider is not correct) or your work hypothesis (the theory you think is must probably accurate or close to the truth) usually, when performing a research, you will not always obtain positive or statistically significant results, that validate your hypothesis. Is actually, not unusual that extremes (or extraordinary results) come out (unexpected for several reasons: incorrect size of the sample, improper selection of the subjects- a bias- lack of correct determination of the variable measured or failure to determine the type of the variable-numerical, categorical, ratio,etc-)

Positive or negative results are yet, results whether they prove or reject your hypothesis. Failing to establish a scientific hypothesis does not necessarily mean that they did something wrong, it just says that the hypothesis tested does not approach correctly to the epistemological truth (ultimately, any research is only a mere approximation to reality). Therefore, when two scientists deny sharing<em> unusual results</em>, they are acting unethically, hiding results that can mean something from a different point of view.

What 3 philosophies achieved a well-run, peaceful society?
vaieri [72.5K]
<span>The closest to perfection would be an interdependent Confederation of societies, each containing between one and two hundred citizens, depending upon factors such as location and climate. These villages would be more or less evenly distributed across the globe, having access to roughly equivalent amounts of arable land. Thirty per cent of all land would be designated wilderness, and no societies would be allowed to colonise these areas, but antisocial individuals would be free to inhabit the wilderness following a life-style of total lonesomeness.</span>

Mr. Mills wrote the following objectives for his lesson about erosion. 1. Students will understand what erosion is. 2. Students
adelina 88 [10]

Mr. Mills wrote general goals. He used the verb "understand". Your goals are not specific. He needs to use verbs that express behaviors that students will perform. Students need to show how well they can achieve their goals.
