Any one who uses the word 'hypothesis' is making a guess. If the hypothesis survives an experimental test it becomes a theory. If that theory can be substantiated by positive knowledge or proof, then it may be stable and if stable, events may proceed

Explain why a hypothesis must be testable and falsibable but not provable?

A hypothesis must be testable and able to be proved false because it is an educated guess based on other facts connected to the hypothesis. It must be testable so other scientists can agree with the hypothesis. It is not able to be provable because it is an educated guess.


What does every hypothesis have the same?

Every hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon that can be tested through experimentation and observation. Additionally, every hypothesis should be falsifiable, meaning it can be proven wrong through testing. Finally, a hypothesis should be specific and make a clear prediction that can be tested.


Can a falsifiable hypothesis be tested?

Yes, a falsifiable hypothesis can be tested because it can be proven true or false through experimentation or observation. If evidence is found that contradicts the hypothesis, then it can be disproven. This process is essential in the scientific method to advance knowledge and understanding.


Every hypothesis must be tested Do you agree or disagree Explain your answer and give an example of a hypothesis?

I don't agree that every hypothesis MUST be tested. In order to advance to the status of a scientific theory, a hypothesis must be tested. Otherwise it remains a mere hypothesis. But some hypotheses are beyond our present capacity to test. Hypothesis: there are technologically advanced alien civilizations in our galaxy on planets other than the Earth. Method of testing: explore the galaxy in space ships. Except that we don't really have any interstellar space ships (it's hard enough just getting to the moon!) and the process of exploring the galaxy would be so expensive and so time-consuming that we really could not afford it in our present economic state.


A hypothesis is a statement that can be?

To be of any use to science, a hypothesis must be able to be tested. For instance, I might have a hypothesis that there is a civilization of giant butterfly people living in another galaxy. If I have no way to test this idea, then it really isn't a hypothesis. It would just be a wild guess.

What does it mean that hypothesis must be testable?

It must be possible to observe whether the hypothesis is true.


Why must a scientific hypothesis be stable?

A stable scientific hypothesis allows for consistency and reliability in testing and results. It enables the hypothesis to be accurately evaluated and potentially confirmed or refuted through experimentation. Stability ensures that the hypothesis accurately reflects the phenomena being studied.
