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.

In the 1960s, the United States and the Soviet Union were indirectly involved in a war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
faltersainse [42]

The crisis in the Congo was a period of political turmoil and conflict in the Republic of the Congo (today the Democratic Republic of the Congo) between 1960 and 1965. The crisis began after Congo became independent from Belgium and ended, unofficially, when the whole country was placed under the rule of Josef-Desire Mobut.

By establishing a series of civil wars, the crisis in Congo was also a proxy conflict in  a cold war, in which the Soviet Union and the United States supported opposing factions. About 100,000 people are believed to have been killed during the crisis.

Proxy war is an armed conflict between the two opposing sides, even states can be, with these parties acting on behalf of others who are not directly involved in hostilities.

The right answer is B. proxy war
