Question

question 15 of 25 which statement describes the best reason for having a strong hypothesis? a. it can help reinforce the scientists preferred explanation. b. it can be used to get a paper published in a scientific journal. c. it can be used to design an experiment. d. it can help answer ethical questions.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting - point for further investigation. It serves as a guide for designing experiments to test its validity. A strong hypothesis is not about reinforcing a preferred explanation (as science should be objective), nor is it mainly for getting a paper published. Ethical questions are not the main focus of a hypothesis in a scientific context.

Answer:

C. It can be used to design an experiment.
