Question

Which of the following is testable, takes into account current knowledge, and supports the creation of a statistical model?

A graph
A technique
A hypothesis
A representation

Answer 1

Answer: A hypothesis.

Explanation: The hypothesis is generated via a number of means, but is usually the result of a process of inductive reasoning where observations lead to the formation of a theory. Scientists then use a large battery of deductive methods to arrive at a hypothesis that is testable, falsifiable and realistic.
