Why is prior knowledge so important in science?
Prior knowledge allows you to make a well-informed hypotheses and a better-planned experiment.
What characteristics must a hypothesis have to be considered scientific?
To make your hypothesis considered scientific it must have testable and measurable results. Example: If you do an experiment and the results are testable and measurable another person would be able to do the exact same project and come out with the same results.

What was the main theory at the time of Rutherford's experiment of what the atom looked like?
Atoms were thought to have electrons as the only true particles prior to Rutherford's analysis of the 'gold foil experiment' and, to explain why atoms are neutral, the atom was though to be something like a pudding of positive (no particles) with the electrons stuck in the atomic pudding. Prior experiments by several scientists, culminating by studies of several gases by JJ Thomson who came to these conclusion.

What three things make a good hypothesis?
"Good science" should be based on the scientific method. The Scientific method is based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence.
What is prior parameter v.s. post hoc parameter?
A priori simply means "prior to", so it is something done prior to conducting your experiment. Post hoc means "after", so doing it after the study is complete. A parameter is a number associated with the the population, so an a priori parameter could be the mean of the population prior to an event such as your experiment and a post hoc parameter would then be the population mean after the event.

What is used to hold the chemicals to be combined in an experiment?
It depends on what the chemicals are and the experiment itself. Also, it's not clear if you're asking about what the reagents are held in for storage prior to the experiment, what they are held in temporarily during the course of the experiment but before they are actually combined, or what they are held in when they are in the process of being combined.
