After testing a hypothesis multiple times and data not supporting your prediction, you should form a new hypothesis that is supported by the data you have already collected.

Answer:

This question is worded in a confusing way. ..

I think you mean you gather data and test a null hypothesis, but fail to reject it. The null hypothesis is generally the opposite of your prediction. For example, if you think a drug might help cure a condition, your null hypothesis is usually that the drug does nothing. Or if you think requiring gun owners to take a gun safety course will reduce accidental firearm injuries, your null hypothesis is usually that the requirement makes no difference to firearm injury rates.

If you gather more data, and still fail to reject, multiple times, it still doesn’t mean your prediction is false. It could just mean you don’t have enough data.

Assuming it’s possible to get more data, and the question is important enough, you keep testing until any plausible effect is too small to matter.

How was the 2000 presidential election ultimately decided?
Solnce55 [7]

Correct answer:

<h2>C. The US Supreme Court ruled that George Bush won Florida and the presidency.</h2>

Further details:

The 2000 election was extremely close, and the voting in Florida was extremely close. Ultimately, the outcome in Florida would determine the outcome of the nation's election for president. George W. Bush led the vote count on election night by 1,784 votes. That was a narrow enough lead to trigger an automatic machine recount of all ballots. When the machine recount was done, the actual lead for Bush was only 900 votes. The other candidate, Al Gore, was able to use Florida state law to request manual recounting of ballots in four key counties. But because the manual recounts were taking more time than the state law allowed, Gore petitioned the Florida Supreme Court to extend the time, so that those recounts could continue. It was the Bush campaign that appealed to the US Supreme Court, and the US Supreme Court stopped the recount process. When that happened, Florida's electoral votes (and with them, the election win) were awarded to Bush.
