The scientific method refers to an organized or systematic way of figuring out problems, where scientific questions are asked and answered by way of conducting methodological experiments and making observations. There are six steps or parts pertinent to the technique, the first of which entails asking of the question relating to what is intended to be learnt or establishing the purpose of the study. The second step of the technique entails carrying out research to find information from existing literature in books and other sources. The information can also be garnered by talking with professionals in the related field before experimentation can commence. This step requires the parties involved to conduct a background review of details that assist in drawing the baseline variables that help in comprehending the current condition for the identification of the critical improvements needed (Bassuk & Washington, 2013).
The third step is the formulation of hypotheses, where the investigator attempts to make educated guesses or predictions of answers to the identified problem. According to Neville-Neil (2013), a hypothesis may be true or false, but it must be a testable idea that leads to the establishment of a feasible solution to the problem. …show more content…
Actions and Anticipated Outcomes
To solve the problem of detergent brand selection, an experimental survey covering all the factors listed above on the selection of a power detergent is carried out. The anticipated results of the experimental survey are that a majority of the surveyed clients will reveal that stain removal power and efficiency of any detergent is the most important driving force in brand selection. The criterion for determining whether or not my actions would succeed involves numerical comparison of responses based on the factors or experimental parameters.
