What else can I help you with?
Can a hypothesis become wrong?
Yes. The term means best guess. Data can prove that is not correct.
What does a hypothesis have to have?
"A hypothesis is a proposed answer to a question. To answer the question raised by your observations, the hypothesis must be testable." it means that you need to be able to prove that your hypothesis is true or not by creating an experiment and collect/analyze the data
Can data prove hypothesis true?
Yes
How is a hypothesis is tested?
conducting experiment
What do you call the data that you collect in order to prove or disprove a hypothesis?
The data collected to prove or disprove a hypothesis is called empirical data. This data is gathered through observation, experimentation, or measurement, and it serves as the basis for testing the validity of the hypothesis. Analyzing this data helps researchers draw conclusions about the relationship between variables.
What if your hypothesis is correct?
Your hypothesis is supported by the data. You cannot prove a hypothesis because somebody may do some other experiments and disprove it eventually. You can only disprove a hypothesis or indicate that it is supported by the data.
What is it mean when a hypothesis is accepted?
This means the data supported the hypothesis.
If a hypothesis is proven wrong why is it still important?
Generally, creating a hypothesis is a no-win situation. The hypothesis you devise must be provable false. Your data will either prove your hypothesis false or it will fail to prove the hypothesis false. You can never prove a proper hypothesis true. Science does not prove truth, it simply discards the false.
What does it mean when the null hypothesis is rejected?
When the null hypothesis is rejected, it suggests that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that an effect or difference exists in the data being analyzed. This means that the observed results are unlikely to have occurred by random chance alone, implying that the alternative hypothesis may be true. However, it does not prove the alternative hypothesis; it simply indicates that the null hypothesis is not a plausible explanation for the observed data.
What does it mean to reject or accept your hypothesis?
To reject a hypothesis means that the evidence or data collected during an experiment does not support it, leading to the conclusion that the hypothesis is unlikely to be true. In contrast, accepting a hypothesis suggests that the evidence aligns with the predictions made, providing support for its validity. However, acceptance does not prove it definitively, while rejection indicates that the hypothesis is not supported by the current data. Ultimately, both outcomes guide further research and investigation.
What rules does a hypothesis have to follow?
"A hypothesis is a proposed answer to a question. To answer the question raised by your observations, the hypothesis must be testable." it means that you need to be able to prove that your hypothesis is true or not by creating an experiment and collect/analyze the data
What does it mean when the data supports the hypothesis?
It means that your prediction was accurate.
