To confuse the results.
To increase the sample size.
Which of the following is NOT a step of the scientific method?

What is the difference between a theory and a hypothesis?
A theory is used to explain natural phenomena, while a hypothesis is used to explain social phenomena.
A theory is based on scientific evidence, while a hypothesis is based on personal beliefs.
A theory is proven to be true, while a hypothesis is proven to be false.
The main difference between a theory and a hypothesis is that a theory is a well-established and widely accepted explanation, while a hypothesis is a tentative explanation that requires further testing and evidence.
What is the purpose of peer review in the scientific community?
To provide feedback to authors after publication

What is the difference between an independent variable and a dependent variable?
An independent variable and a dependent variable are the same thing.
An independent variable is the variable being measured or observed, while a dependent variable is manipulated or controlled by the researcher.
The difference between an independent variable and a dependent variable is that an independent variable is manipulated or controlled by the researcher, while a dependent variable is the variable being measured or observed.
An independent variable is the variable that changes in response to the dependent variable.
What is the purpose of a control variable in an experiment?
The purpose of a control variable in an experiment is to provide a baseline for comparison and ensure that any observed effects are due to the manipulated independent variable.
The purpose of a control variable in an experiment is to ensure that the independent variable is not manipulated.
The purpose of a control variable in an experiment is to manipulate the dependent variable.
The purpose of a control variable in an experiment is to increase the sample size.
What is the final step of the scientific method?
Drawing a conclusion
Collecting data
Formulating a hypothesis
Conducting experiments
