Question

question 6 of 10 which of the following statements is a testable hypothesis for an experiment that compares wild horses and tame horses? a. wild horses live better lives than any type of tame horse. b. newborn wild horses are cuter and more fun than newborn tame horses. c. wild horses are harder to train or ride than tame horses. d. the teeth of wild horses wear down faster than the teeth of tame horses.

Explanation:

A testable hypothesis can be proven or disproven through experimentation. Options A and B involve subjective judgments ('better lives', 'cuter and more fun') which are hard to measure objectively. Option C is a general statement that may be difficult to precisely quantify. Option D can be objectively measured by comparing the rate of tooth - wear in wild and tame horses.

Answer:

D. The teeth of wild horses wear down faster than the teeth of tame horses.
