For this question, it's best to start with the term hypothesis and define it to know what we are looking for.
00:08
So, hypothesis, probably the easiest and most general term used to describe it, is an educated guess.
00:17
This is a sort of guess or prediction based on some sort of information we already know.
00:24
So this is some sort of understanding or some sort of former knowledge that we're able to use to predict an outcome.
00:39
So if we consider our answer choices, we're looking for something that gives us this understanding or knowledge to be able to make that prediction.
00:49
So here we have experimentation, we have data, we have observation, and we have theory.
01:06
An experiment is what you're going to conduct, however, you typically make the hypothesis before the experiment.
01:13
You're trying to predict what will occur in the experiment.
01:18
So here you probably do not need an experiment to make guesses about what will happen.
01:23
Data is usually what comes after an experiment.
01:27
It's sort of how you prove your hypothesis...
