Document Summary

Design and perform an experiment to test the hypothesis. Results: accept or reject hypothesis (null hypothesis) If necessary, propose and test a new hypothesis. Relationship between a hypothesis and a prediction: A hypothesis is an explanation of how the world works. A prediction is an outcome you should observe if the hypothesis is correct. Because they measure predictions from two opposing hypotheses. Both predicted actions cannot occur, so one hypothesis will be supported while the other one will not.
