Show some results that agree with the hypothesis. Report the results accurately and then form a new hypothesis. Conduct more trials until the hypothesis is proven. Rewrite the hypothesis to better match the results.
I am hesitating between 4 options to answer the following question, which option should I choose?
Question: Some researchers predicted that mice could learn their way around a maze quickly if given a food reward. After many trials, the results came back but differed from the hypothesis. How should the researchers proceed?
Possibilities:
- Show some results that agree with the hypothesis.
- Report the results accurately and then form a new hypothesis.
- Conduct more trials until the hypothesis is proven.
- Rewrite the hypothesis to better match the results.

Report the results accurately and then form a new hypothesis.
