5. Musoke, and each member of his family, has a computer connected to the
internet to the internet by one source at their home. One day, he had an
internet connection failure on his laptop computer and he got frustrated
when he observed that he could not access the internet. He wondered
whether something was wrong with the internet itself or it was just his
laptop. When he consulted his sister, he was able to form a prediction; if
the internet isn’t working on the desktop in the leisure room too, then the
problem is beyond my laptop. He checked the desktop’s internet
connection and realized that the internet there worked. By analyzing the
evidence, he was able to form conclusion; something is wrong with my
laptop and nothing is wrong with the internet connection
a) In inference to Mukose’s situation, discuss the steps involved in the

scientific method and prepare a report of your discussion
