How are data and hypothesis different?
A hypothesis comes before data. A hypothesis is an estimated guess to what will happen. And Data is the steps it takes to come to a solution in a problem.
What is a prediction that suggests what you expect will happen?
In the scientific method this would be called the "hypothesis".
What are inferential statistics?
Statistical inference is about testing hypotheses. In order to test a hypothesis, you make a prediction about the observations, contrasting the prediction with what might happen if the hypothesis were not true. The prediction is tested against the observations by calculating a test statistic or inferential statistic. This is a value which is based purely on the observations. If the test statistic is too far from the predicted value then the hypothesis should be rejected in favour of the alternative hypothesis.What constitutes "too far" depends on the presumed distribution of the variable being tested, as well as the degree of certainty required from the test - the power of the test. The latter is a balance between probability of rejecting the hypothesis when it is true and that of not rejecting it when it is false. These outcomes may be weighted according to the risk or costs that a false decision carries.
What does the phrase ''99 times out of 100'' mean?
It means something nearly always happens. It is used to indicate that something is almost guaranteed to happen.
Which of the following cannot be the probability of an event?
There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You did not provide the list of "the following". Please restate the question. However, by definition of probability, a probability less than 0 (the event will never happen) or greater than 1 (the event will always happen) is impossible, so maybe that answers your question.
What must always happen before a hypothsis can be formed?
Before a hypothesis can be formed, observations and research must be conducted to gather data and evidence. This information is then analyzed to propose a possible explanation or prediction, which forms the basis of the hypothesis.
What must happen before a hypothesis becomes a theory?
The Hypothesis Must Be Supported In Order For It To Become A Theory

What is a hypothesis variable?
A hypothesis is not a variable...it is something that you think will happen based on reasoning and observations, before doing an experiment.
How are data and hypothesis different?
A hypothesis comes before data. A hypothesis is an estimated guess to what will happen. And Data is the steps it takes to come to a solution in a problem.
What does making hypothesis mean?
it means to quess what is going to happen before you do an expirament.
What do you have to do before you perform your experiment?
You want to have a hypothesis to test. A hypothesis is kind of like a reasoned guess what you expect to happen. The results of your experiment will either support your hypothesis or it wont.
What is a purpose of a hypothesis?
it tells what you think will happen before the experiment or what ever your doing happend.
What is a scientist hypothesis?
A hypothesis is a temporary explanation for some observation. It is then tested and, if is found to be incorrect, a new one has to be formed. If found to be correct, it becomes a theory. If that theory is later found to have a counter-example it is modified (hypothesis -> theory - same process) or a completely new hypothesis proposed and tested. The hypothesis alwasy comes before the theory. it is a practical explanation that the scientist develops that accounts for a theory.
What is the difference between experiment and hypothesis?
An experiment is the thing that you perform, and a hypothesis is the guess you make at the start (before the experiment) to determin what's going to happen.
What is the difference between observation and hypothesis?
The hypothesis is your guess of what will happen with the experiment before you do it. Observation is watching the experiment as it is being performed and observing what is taking place.
Why can we never prove that a hypothesis true?
A hypothesis can never be proven true because there is always a possibility that it can be disproved. No matter how many times something happens, and how sure you think you are that it will happen again, there are always other possibilities that have not been explored.
