Bad hypotheses are often vague, unfalsifiable, or overly broad, making them difficult to test or measure. They may also be based on assumptions without sufficient evidence or fail to establish a clear relationship between variables. Additionally, hypotheses that do not allow for the possibility of being proven wrong undermine the scientific method. A well-formulated hypothesis should be specific, testable, and grounded in existing knowledge.

What is a bad hypothesis or a wrong hypothesis?
there is never really a wrong hypothesis because its basically just a guess....
Is an unsupported hypothesis a bad hypothesis?
No because a hypothesis s an educated guess..It doesn't need supporting details only you final conclusion needs evidence
Is a hypothesis valuable when it has not been proven?
a hypothesis is simply a guess 2nd answer: A true hypothesis is not simply a guess - it is a well-researched and tested suggestion of a possible truth. An unproven hypothesis can be really bad. The hypothesis of global warming is an example of an unproven hypothesis because nearly no scientists are following the correct procedure of trying to prove it wrong. In the case of global warming, billions and billions and dollars are being spent trying to prove it correct. That is backwards.
A possible explanation or answer to a question is a?
A hypothesis
A hypothesis that has been tested and proven false?
That is a failed hypothesis. Although this sounds like a bad thing, in science it is actually an example of good science. The philosopher Karl Popper declared that real science was defined by hypothesis that could be tested and proven false or true. For example you can make a hypothesis that the falling speed of a body is proportional to its mass. The hypothesis can be put to test and shown false. This was the difference in World view between Aristoteles and Gallilei: Aristoteles put forward the hypothesis and Galilei tested it. Pseudo-science like astrology, religion, philosophy, politics and so on does not put forward testable hypothesis. No pseudo-science dare to put forward a testable hypothesis.
What is an example of a bad hypothesis?
An example of a bad hypothesis would be: "All birds can fly." This is a bad hypothesis because it is too broad and cannot be easily tested or proven.

Why is the hypothesis that black cats cause bad luck not science?
The results of studying the hypothesis are not repeatable and are open to judgement. The hypothesis cannot be tested by controlled experiments.

An educated guess based on what you know and what you observe is called which?
It has been taught far too long that "an educated guess" was know as a hypothesis. However, the true meaning of a hypothesis is simply a proposed solution to a problem that must be tested in order to validate and be considered reliable. An hypothesis must also be provable false. "There are no elves" is a bad hypothesis because it is impossible to prove the absence of something.

How can you make a good hypothesis?
Determine the topic and the application for your hypothesis. Are you interested in bone structure and want to conduct a science experiment? Or are you interested in political theory and want to write a paper? The topic determines what your hypothesis is about, and the application tells you how to word your hypothesis.2Narrow your topic down from general to specific, broad to narrow. You want the particulars of the topic you wish to investigate and you want to bring the topic down to a size you can handle. Whether you are dealing in abstract ideas or with tangible research, you can't conquer the world all at once. Break it down into one-step-at-a-time sized pieces.3A good hypothesis is your assumption or explanation of why or how something occurs. You are proposing an explanation or defending an argument. In order to determine your answer (your hypothesis), first determine your question. What question do you want to answer by this experiment, research or essay? Let's take for our purposes this (somewhat facetious) question: "Why do people get bad haircuts?"4Decide what your answer to the question is. Why do people get bad haircuts? Is it because they can't afford to go to a great salon? Perhaps they don't know they have bad haircuts? Or is a bad haircut is only a matter of preference? Write down your best answer to the question you have proposed.5A good hypothesis is simple and concise. Look at the answer you have written--that is--your current hypothesis. Is it wordy? Cluttered up with unnecessary adjectives? Confusing? Wishy washy? Reword as needed to form a statement that is brief and understandable. "People end up with really bad haircuts because they don't know that they have bad haircuts and don't know how to get good ones" can become "People have bad haircuts because they don't recognize good haircuts."6A good hypothesis take a clear side. Your following research or writing will determine if the side you chose is the right one; at this point, the purpose of your hypothesis is to make your claim boldly. So don't tiptoe around. Decide what you think, and say it. If your current hypothesis is dancing around the real heart of what you think, trim it up and work it over until it says what you mean to say.7A good hypothesis uses clearly defined terms. If any of the terms you are using in your hypothesis are ambiguous, either reword or include a brief clarification of what you mean by the particular term. "People have bad haircuts (unflattering or unkempt) because they don't recognize good haircuts."8A good hypothesis is testable. If there's no way to go out and test the truth of the statement you are making, it won't work as a hypothesis. If you can test it, it will work. A testable hypothesis gives you direct guidance for your next steps in completing your project. Once you determine that your hypothesis is testable, you probably know how to test it. So your next move is to start testing and find out if your good hypothesis is good enough to become a theory.
