multiple choice

1. which of the following is not true of theories?
2. which type of variable is manipulated in an

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting - point for further investigation. A theory is a well - substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. A law is a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspect of the universe. Similarities: All are attempts to explain natural phenomena. Hypothesis and theory are both explanatory ideas, with theory being more well - established. Hypothesis and law may both start from observations. Theory and law can both be used to make predictions.
For the multiple - choice part, without the options, it's not possible to answer.

Answer:

For the Venn diagram:

• Hypothesis: Proposed explanation based on limited evidence.
• Theory: Well - substantiated explanation based on repeated confirmation.
• Law: Statement from repeated observations.
• Hypothesis/Theory Similarities: Both are explanatory, theory is more developed.
• Law/Hypothesis Similarities: Both can start from observations.
• Law/Theory Similarities: Both can be used for prediction.
• Similarities Between All: All aim to explain natural phenomena.
