How can a hypothesis turn in to a thery?
Yes, if there is enough evidence and data to show that the hypothesis is most likely true.
What is the difference between repetition and replication of an investigation?
Repetition is copying an investigation, while replication of an investigation is the results of an investigation, which is not likely to be accepted unless the investigation is repeated multiple times and the same result is obtained.
How can a scientist test a hypothesis if its impossible to control the experiment?
To answer a specific question, scientist form a hypothesis. If the hypothesis cannot be testable or answered, they'll give you a prediction of what will most likely happen from the results of the hypothesis.
What tool would a scientist most likely have used during a investigation?
thermometer
What is another name for the scientific method?
The Null Hypothesis. May be referred to as (H0). It is a statistical test and tricky in that this Null hypothesis can never be tested, so is tested in conjunction with some other hypothesis in such a way as the testing procedure, measurements made, will be done in a way as to show which hypothesis is more likely. An example is given in Wikipedia regarding the tossing of a coin is worth viewing. Null Hypothesis : we have a normal coin Alternative Hypothesis one: we have a double headed coin alternative Hypothesis two: Some unknown influence on an not normal coin if a coin is tossed many times, say 100, and comes up heads each time the Null hypothesis is least likely of the three and REJECTED in favour of one of the other alternatives. if the coin flips over and over and over easily but always lands heads up, most likely hypothesis two is correct and the Null Hypothesis REJECTED. if the coin acts real strange by not going end over end and immediately falls very quickly down to land one particular side up hypothesis three is more likely and the Null Hypothesis REJECTED. if the coin acts normally going end over end and lands about as many times heads as it does tails the Null Hypothesis is RETAINED as most likely. The Null Hypothesis is either retained [kept as most likely true] or it is rejected in favour of the alternative. so it can be seen choosing which alternative to test against is always best and the simplest is generally the one to look at. refer also Ocams Razor.
How can data not support your hypothesis?
If your hypothesis is totally incorrect then it is quite likely that the data will not support it.
What is the difference repetition and replication of an investigation?
Repetition is copying an investigation, while replication of an investigation is the results of an investigation, which is not likely to be accepted unless the investigation is repeated multiple times and the same result is obtained.

mustard
What is a hypothesis formed from?
A hypothesis is formed from a question. this question is most likely to get scientists debating on weather it is true or not, and this is where the hypothesis comes from. a hypothosis can either be true or false. you will use a hypothesis in science for your G.C.S.E and sometimes in mathematics.

What is the definition of gap hypothesis?
A hypothesis that stated that sections of active faults that have had relatively few earthquakes are likely to be the sites of strong earthquakes in the future.
What is the theory that sections of active faults that have had few earthquakes are likely to be sites of strong earthquakes in the future called?
it is called the gap hypothesis
How do you spell inicel?
The word is likely "initial" (a letter abbreviation, or adjective meaning first).
What kind of results would confirms a hypothesis?
A result which is consistent with a hypothesis adds weight to the evidence in favour of that hypothesis: it makes it more likely that the hypothesis is true. But you can never ever confirm a scientific hypothesis. The best that you can do is to show that an alternative hypothesis is unlikely. There could be another hypothesis which is better than the one you started with as well as the alternative that you compared it with: but you simply do not know.
What makes hypothesis testable?
A hypothesis is testable when we can determine experientially whether it is likely to be false or more likely to be true. That means we must be able to distinguish between it being true or false observationally. Thus, equally important to finding observations that confirm the hypothesis, we must be able to specify what it is we expect to see in the case that the hypothesis is false: the hypothesis must be falsifiable in order to be testable.It must be able to be proved right or wrong.
