Yes? There is always a chance that experimental results happened by chance (something called a Type I error in Statistics which is bad, but over-emphasized). Replications (which are not done often enough) help protect us against such "accidental" effects because reproducing the results by chance is FAR less likely than just getting them once by chance. But reproducing REAL effects should be quite easy. Though if it is the same scientist, in the same lab, it is possible the results can be replicated even when they shouldn't be replicated, not by chance, but because of something systematic (dirty or faulty equipment, poor randomization, experimenter accidently communicates something to the participant, ...).

It is called repeated trials.
Chance
The hypothesis can never really be proven correct; that's why scientists always say that they are 99.9% sure about things. If you drop a pencil, it will most likely always fall, but there is the slight chance that someday, it won't fall. Things in science always change.
Repeated Trials

average result is the result when you do a few times of the same experiment and get a few result then you average it.

Penicillin was discovered by chance in 1928 by Alexander Fleming when he noticed that a mold called Penicillium notatum killed bacteria in a culture plate. This accidental discovery led to the development of the first antibiotic and revolutionized medicine.
Repetition of the experiment.

It is called repeated trials.
Observed results are less likely to be affected by random chance.
