I am not a scientist, but offer my perspective as a popular consumer of science-related information. Each of them may be considered true depending on context or on how terms are defined, but the one that is most true is "Controlled experiements produce valid data" Controlled experiments are those in which as many factors as possible are accounted for in their design, so that results are less likely to be caused by some anomaly or by some variable other than the one(s) being studied.

"Controlled data produces valid experiments" could be at least indirectly true, since good data will help determine how and to what extent variables will be manipulated by the researchers. But in most research scenarios it is not the data itself that is acted upon in the experiment, it is physical processes-- the ones that will eventually yield data. A possible exception would be computer or other information related science, where actual data may in fact be subjected to various procedures.

"Valid experiments produce controlled data" could be true if you think of the word 'controlled' in a certain way. Ideally, the data coming from an experiment is not controlled by the researchers, or at least it shouldn't be. The data should reflect the natural interaction(s) of the variable(s) being studied. Otherwise the research is meaningless, or worse, falsified. But you might think of the outcome data as being, in a way, controlled by the variable(s) being studied.

What is true controlled experiments produce valid data valid experiments produce controlled data controlled data produces valid experiments?

With controlled experiments it is taken into consideration what possible variables there could be and it is taken into account when conducting the experiment. This would mean that controlled experiments would produce more valid data.


What are unconditional statements in c plus plus?

Unconditional statements are statements that are invoked unconditionally. Conditional statements have a controlling expression, while unconditional statements do not. For example: void f (bool b) { if (b==true) do_something(); // conditional statement (controlled by the expression b==true) do_something_else(); // unconditional (executes regardless of b's value) }
