Okay. The question I have been tasked with helping you answer today is which sentence best describes the logic of scientific inquiry and just initially reading through this, there is a little bit of confusion I would say, but um if we break it down, um I think we can figure it out. So the first thing that I noticed that I&#x27;m just going to go through here um, letter A and says if I generate a testable hypothesis, tests and observations will support it. One of the big things I always tell my students and goal sciences, you can&#x27;t go in with the idea that you can prove anything. So um thinking that your hypothesis is automatically going to have tests and observations that support. It&#x27;s just kind of a bad way to do science. So I crossed out a immediately there uh and that&#x27;s why you have to, you have to go in with no bias whatsoever. Um, and then the next one letter beats as if my if my prediction is correct, it will lead to a testable hypothesis. Again. Same thing, you can make an incorrect prediction and that&#x27;s fine. Um at deadline and an incorrect prediction could lead to a testable hypothesis. But sometimes there&#x27;s just things you can&#x27;t test again. We&#x27;re limited here in the world that we have. So this one, I&#x27;m sorry, this one also to me, I would cross out that one as well. So I&#x27;m going to go ahead and cross out. Let her be there. Then let her see if my observations are accurate. They will support my hypothesis. Again, that one is kind of close ish, maybe a little bit better than the other ones, but again, you can&#x27;t you can&#x27;t always be looking to support your hypothesis right away. Um so you could make correct observations, but there could be other things at play that you&#x27;re unaware of. So that&#x27;s not necessarily going to mean that is going to be correct. So then let her see I cross that one now, which did leave me with letter D is I think is the best answer here. If my hypothesis is correct, I can expect certain test results. Um Again, as the as you go through the process, if you make a correct hypothesis, you&#x27;re going to notice that things might start to come into play um that are going to support your ideas that you initially had. So uh huh It might take a little bit to get from point A to point B here, but I would go with again, my correct answer being letter TNBC, that&#x27;s a good correct Well put a nice smiley face right there, my letter D. Um so again, that&#x27;s my best wait, I hope you guys there, I hope it helps out have a great day

in scientific testing. Hypothesis is a guess that explains certain observations. To be about hypothesis, it must meet two criteria. It must first be testable. You must be able to design an experiment to determine whether your hypothesis is true or false. Your hypothesis must also be falsify a ble. If a hypothesis cannot be proven false, it is not valid. When you test your hypothesis, it will either be shown to be true or false. But having hypothesis does not guarantee that your results will concur with your hypothesis and it may be proven false.

so which of the following statements is gonna be correct? So we have a A hip hop says is useless if it cannot be tested be that common sense can be used in place of the scientific method. See, this night to the method could be used only for scientific phenomena. The observations are not needed for the scientific method or the oval above, so hypothesis is useless of cannot be tests, and that is correct. Testing and experimentation is the back hold on site of method, and if you cannot test, it&#x27;s not even really a hypothesis, but just to go through the others. So common sense cannot be used in place of scientific method. What you think is common sense, maybe defended. Well, I think it&#x27;s common sense. And sometimes even if we can both agree that something is common sense that is not necessarily Nina&#x27;s. Accurate biology is full of surprises. Um, see, the scientific method can be used only twice. I phenomenon that is incorrect scientific phenomenon. That&#x27;s not even like really thing. If this sense that national phenomena, then yes, this will be it because, um, scientific method cannot be used for, like the supernatural world. The scientific is not phenomenon that doesn&#x27;t make sense. De and observation is not needed for the scientific method and correct that is one of the first steps in the scientific method that&#x27;s so once again, the hypothesis is useless.

There are many differences between a hypothesis and a theory. Even though these two terms are sometimes used interchangeably outside of the scientific community, hypothesis is an explanation for a specific set of observations. It is usually fairly narrow and requires further testing to determine if it seems more true or if it seems false. A theory, on the other hand, is more broad. Ah, theory has a well supported body of evidence that has shown it to be fairly, certainly true. A theory can be used for many observations instead of just one or a few as it a hypothesis. Lastly, a theory can be used to generate new hypotheses.

one problem. Five. Which of the following statements best distinguishes hypotheses from theories and science? A. Theories are hypotheses that have improved. B hypotheses are guesses. Theories are correct. Answers. See how about seas are usually relatively narrow in scope. Theories have broader explanatory power or theories. Air proved hypotheses are often contradicted by experimental results, so and general theories do have a lot more data or information supporting them. But that&#x27;s not really necessarily what makes it a theory. A theory is basically a broad explanation of general tendencies of the universe. Ah so friends, since there&#x27;s the theory of gravity, the theory of plate tectonics, the theory of evolution, thes air, very, very bride Ah, explanations these air explanations of very broad phenomena. Hypotheses are individual sort of questions within theories generally so hypotheses air usually much narrower and scope and have broader explanatory power. That&#x27;s really the main difference between a hypothesis and a theory

Hello. Everyone will be solving problems. Three from Chapter one together. In this problem, we&#x27;re being asked to find which answer choice is a property of a good hypotheses. First, let&#x27;s talk about what a hypothesis is. In simple terms, a hypothesis is an educated guess when performing an experiment hypothesis is amongst one of the very first things you can do. It will help lead the thought process during your experiment onto the answer choices. Mother A. Claims. A good hypothesis is a statement of facts. Incorrect. A hypothesis is right now at the beginning. Therefore, there is room to be proven wrong, and that&#x27;s okay. Letter B is also incorrect because they had pop this. Is it set on one idea being proven correctly or incorrectly. It can not generalize multiple experiments, all with different results. Letter C claims the hypothesis is independent of observations, which is also incorrect all to other D. This, too, is incorrect because I hypothesis is supposed to be addressed by the experiment. That&#x27;s why it&#x27;s there in the first place. Finally, letter E is are correct. Answer because it is true that I hate prosthesis can be falsified by experiments. I hope this helps

s. So this is Chapter one problem seven from Campo. And the question is which sentence best describes the logic of scientific inquiry. Now, a lot of these sound very close to the right answer. But there&#x27;s only one ah, answered that best describes scientific inquiry. So let&#x27;s go through these one more time. So a If I generate a testable hypothesis, tests and observations will support it. Well, when you are working on scientists, you do want to generate a testable hypothesis, and you do run to run tests and observations. However, you can&#x27;t go in assuming that you are correct and try to get observations to prove that you&#x27;re correct. You want to test your hypothesis and verify whether or not your hypothesis is correct, so you can&#x27;t just assume that it&#x27;s correct. So you can&#x27;t say that you&#x27;re going to have tests and observations to support it. You&#x27;re going to look for support, or you&#x27;re going to look to to see if your hypothesis is wrong. But you can&#x27;t go in with an assumption of truth in your hypothesis. The second one. If my prediction is correct, it will lead to a testable hypothesis. Not all predictions will necessarily have a testable hypothesis on DH. That may just be because there isn&#x27;t the technology and place to test it or for another a number of other reasons. However, you do want to look for a testable hypothesis, it just isn&#x27;t guaranteed. So we can cross out B. See if my observations are accurate, they will support my hypothesis. Sometimes your observations are going to show that your hypothesis isn&#x27;t necessarily correct. So this one isn&#x27;t right either. Finally, if my hypothesis is correct, I can expect certain test results. So, yeah, if um, yeah, If your hypothesis is correct, then the test that you run should you should run a test in such a way that the results will tell you whether or not is correct. You can&#x27;t run a test that shouldn&#x27;t give you any results because then why are you running that test? That&#x27;s why experiments design is very important. So when you are performing ah, when you&#x27;re working with scientific inquiry, you want Teo ah be able to form tests and have those tests give you certain results. So the answer is deep
