On the very small scale, i.e. quantum mechanics, a system is not in a specific state but there are different probabilities for the different states. By observing (measure) a physical property the system is forced into one of the possible states.
The problem is that not all properties are mutually measurable, when one property is observed the other one is changed (because the first observation forces the system into one specific state).

What happens if a sequence is not completed?
There wont be an outcome to your experiment
Each individual outcome of an experiment is called the sample space or sample point?
sample space
What is a ratio that shows the total number of times the favorable outcome happened to the total number of times the experiment was done?
The probability of the event occurring.
What is a conclusion reached by observing patterns?
Conjecture.
A conclusion reached by observing patterns?

In a scientific experiment the is the thing experimenter deliberartely changes while observing?
The independent variable is the thing experimenter deliberately changes while observing in a scientific experiment. This variable is manipulated to observe its effect on the dependent variable, which is the outcome being measured.
In a scientific experiment what is the thing the experimenter deliberately changes while observing?
The thing that the experimenter deliberately changes while observing is called the independent variable. This variable is intentionally manipulated to observe its effect on the dependent variable, which is the outcome being measured in the experiment.
What is a hypothesies?
A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon that can be tested through research and experimentation. It is an educated guess or prediction about the outcome of an experiment or study.
How do you determine the number of outcome in an experiment?
How to determine the number of outcome in an experiment ?
How is knowledge of science incomplete without knowledge of mathematics?
Science is a process of observing, hypothesizing (guessing) about natural laws, predicting the outcome of an experiment, then proceeding with the experiment and comparing the results with the predictions. The "predicting the outcome" part depends heavily on mathematics, in most of the sciences. Without this step science cannot proceed.
A scientist compares data from her control group and experimental group. What scientific method is she performing?
Observing an experiment
How does the mere observation change the outcome?
The act of observation in quantum mechanics can impact the outcome of an experiment by collapsing the wave function, determining the state of a particle. This is known as the observer effect and highlights the influence of the observer on the behavior of quantum systems.
What is observer effect?
The observer effect is a phenomenon where the act of observing a system changes the behavior of that system. In the context of physics or quantum mechanics, this means that the act of measurement or observation can alter the outcome or state of a particle or system.
What is an outcome in a probability experiment?
It is the result of the experiment. It is the value of the observation.
What part of the experiment has the measurable outcome?
The measurable outcome in an experiment is the dependent variable. This is the part of the experiment that is being measured or observed to determine the effect of the independent variable.
What is a prediction about the outcome of the experiment?
The prediction about the outcome of an experiment is a hypothesis. It is basically an educated guess, and you see if your guess comes true or not.
Is a prediction about the outcome of the test or experiment?
hypothesis :)
