biology scientific process?

Question

Which of the following best describes the logic of the scientifci process?
a-if i generate a testable hypotheses, tests and observations will support it.
b-if my perdication is correct, it will lead to a testable hypotheses
c-if my observations are accurate, they will support my hypothesis
d- if my hypothesis is correct, i can expect certain test results
e-if my tests are right, they will prove my hypothesis

Answer 1

(d)

The jargon of the scientific method essentially goes like this.

We make certain OBSERVATIONS
From these, we generate a testable HYPOTHESIS
Once we have the hypothesis we make some PREDICTIONS
And then we do our EXPERIMENTS or TESTS

It's nit-picky and really silly, but here's the why ...

Observations come before the hypothesis and hence (a) is false

Predictions come after the hypothesis and hence (b) is false

Observations come before the hypothesis and hence (c) is false

(e) is almost right, but the trouble is that lots of people will be doing tests - some of them will be flawed - some of them will be accurate representations of the predictions from the hypothesis - and with our tests we generate some results. In some cases the results will support (ie "prove") my hypothesis but in some cases the results will refute my hypothesis. This is particularly so in biology where individuals in a population behave disparately and less of a problem in physics for instance.

Really, the tests are right if they accurately represent the predictions and the hypothesis whatever results they generate.

If the hypothesis is correct, the tests will bear it out.

Answer 2

D. is correct.

Not A. The observations may not support the hypothesis.
Not B. They hypothesis comes before the prediction. The prediction tells what will happen if your hypothesis is correct.
Not C. doesn't make sense
Not E. The test results may disprove the hypothesis. The hypothesis just tells what you think the explanation for the observation is. The test is to see if your hypothesis is correct. Sometimes you get results that don't even tell you if the hypothesis is right or not.

Answer 3

A. B is wrong--you may have a prediction (it will rain tomorrow) but there's no way to test it. C is wrong--you may observe that it's raining outside, but your hypothesis that "it must be nighttime for it to rain" may not be right; D is wrong--you may hypothesize that Jack the Ripper was someone named John Smith, and you may be right, but it may not be possible to get results that prove your theory. E is wrong, and the most dangerous kind of process, because correct tests may prove **or** disprove your hypothesis, but you have to have an objective mind (which many people don't).

Answer 4

Oh surely. severe thinking qualifications too. thenoseknows would additionally bypass returned to college and study genuine technologies. probable study how now to no longer be a coward too. a real wellness care provider will returned up his claims with tips and via no means disguise and refuse to respond to questions.
