An air purifying necklace can remove PM 2.5 effectively therefore if everyone wears the necklace, the city's PM 2.5 air pollution can be solved. Is this conclusion correct? Why?
Correct, because by having everyone wear the necklace, the city's air will be continuously purified
Correct, because the necklace can remove PM 2.5 effectively
Incorrect, because too many necklace will consume too much energy and more toxic chemicals will be released into the air
Incorrect, because the necklace can remove PM 2.5 in small portions compare to the huge amount of air in the city
Student K is analyzing data from an experiment and trying to adjust some numbers manually so that the results could be more consistent with the hypothesis. Is Student K doing a good science?
Yes, because analyzing data always involve adjusting some numbers in good experiment
Yes, because doing good science means that the results should be in consistent with the hypothesis
No, because the data should only come from an experiment, not the number added by an experimenter
No, because doing good science involves more numerical operations.
