Question

15 people you know went to resort. They were disappointed because it was not very clean. They found cat and dog feces on the grounds. A few days after returning they started to find painful rashes that started to grow. They went to their respective doctors who said that they got infected with hookworms, which can be found in cat and dog feces. They thought they got the infection during their trip. Which principle of science are they using here?
a. Has to be a testable question
b. Repeatability
c. Uncertainty
d. Parsimony

Answer 1

Answer: Uncertainty

Explanation:

The principle of science used here is uncertainty. The various doctors attributed their sickness to hookworm gotten from cat and dogs but the uncertainty here is that it wasn't described they had access to the water because they were disappointed by the feces of dogs and cat found around, and how they all got the same rashes at the same time is questionable
