Question

Empirical evidence is obtained using our human senses, which statement

Answer 1

The statement “This type of evidence can be checked by others” best explains the importance of empirical evidence in science.

Explanation:

There are all kinds of evidence used in science, but empirical evidence is obtained as a result of repeated experiments and observations. This evidence is used to either support or argue against a scientific theory. Empirical evidence is the preferred evidence since this kind of evidence can be peer reviewed, i.e. reviewed by other scientists and/or researchers. In other words, the experiment can be redone, and the evidence can be tested.
