Question

Which of the following statements regarding hypotheses is TRUE.
A) Different hypotheses will always lead to different predictions.
B) Hypotheses are proposed answers to questions that must be tested.
C) Hypotheses are questions that result from observations.
D) Only one hypothesis can be tested in a single study.

Accepted Answer

Hypotheses are indeed proposed answers to specific questions that researchers aim to test through experimentation or observation. They are not merely questions themselves (C), nor do they always lead to different predictions (A), as multiple hypotheses can sometimes predict the same outcomes. Additionally, it is possible to test more than one hypothesis in a single study (D), contrary to the exclusivity suggested.
