A hypothesis is tested to verify its validity or not. The more it gives consistent answers by repeated experiments, observations or both, the more valid it is. If it survives the test of repeatability it becomes a theory, and if established as immutable, a law.
A hypotheses becomes testable by actually doing the experiment and seeing what you find.
How else would you determine the validity of the hypothesis.
formulating testable hypotheses before conducting research as ?
Scientists form hypotheses to propose a possible explanation or answer to a specific question or problem they are investigating. These hypotheses are testable and help guide the research process to determine if the proposed explanation is correct or needs to be revised.
One where the validity of the hypothesis can be determined by some test or experiment.
An "hypothesis" is a proposed answer to a scientific question. Hypotheses should be compatible with what is already known, and should be testable through further experiment.
True
hypotheses or more generally conjectures should be capable of being refuted see: Karl Popper - Conjectures and Refutations
Yes, scientific hypotheses should be testable and falsifiable, meaning they can be supported or refuted through experimentation and evidence. Observations should also be repeatable by other researchers to ensure the reliability of the results and conclusions drawn from the scientific study.
Yes. Scientific theories, hypotheses or more generally conjectures must be testable capable of being proved false.
