The evidence that made you come to that conclusion. Remember that a hypothesis is an educated guess

True or false If your experiment does not support your hypothesis you should change your data to give support to the hypothesis?

False- The hypothesis is your prediction of what you expect to happen. If the data does not agree with your hypothesis you simply explain why your hypothesis did not come true and possibly investigate variable which would allow your hypothesis to come true.


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.


Why is a possible explanation for a set of observations called a hypothesis?

A hypothesis is your first guess at how something/ your experiment is going to turn out. If the results you get match your hypothesis you can declare that it provides evidence to suggest that your hypothesis is true.


Is it true scientific inquiry often begins with developing a hypothesis?

Yes. The next step is to try and gather enough evidence to support the hypothesis.


What does suggest mean in science class?

Here's an educated guess. It means that a body of evidence apparently supports a hypothesis, but more and stronger evidence is needed before the hypothesis can be taken seriously. The evidence that suggests the validity of the hypothesis may even be anecdotal, or general untested 'knowledge', or informally gathered. Some experimentation has to be done to try to refute the hypothesis. You would not want to put a lot of weight on the assumption that the hypothesis is absolutely true until you have exhausted, to the best of your ability, the possibility that it is false.

What is null hypothsis?

It is the hypothesis that is presumed true until statistical evidence in the form of a hypothesis test proves it is not true.

Why is it impossible to prove your hypothesis true?

It is impossible to prove a hypothesis true because science aims to falsify hypotheses rather than prove them true. A hypothesis can only be supported by evidence, but it can never be proven definitively true because new evidence could potentially challenge or change our interpretation of it.


How can a hypothesis turn in to a thery?

Is it true that the theory of evolution is supported by a wide range of biological evidence?

Yes. If evolution was not widely supported by evidence, then it would be regarded as a hypothesis rather than a theory.


What is a supporting hypothesis?

A well-supported hypothesis is a theory that appears to have a lot of evidence behind it. This evidence helps to make it seem likely that the hypothesis is true, but it is still just a theory until it has been proven.


Why is it impossible to hypothesis true?

In science, it is impossible to prove a hypothesis true because new evidence could always arise that contradicts it. However, a hypothesis can be supported by evidence, increasing our confidence in its accuracy. Scientists constantly test and refine hypotheses to improve our understanding of the world.

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.
