PP
C) hypothetical
D) hypothetico-deductive
RO
4) What is a hypothesis?
A) A tentative statement, based on information or data, that explains a large number of
observations and guides experimentation.
B) A report of the findings of scientific experiments.
C) A general statement made to infer a specific conclusion, often in an "if . . . then"
VE
format.
D) Using isolated facts to reach a general idea that may explain a phenomenon.

, 5) Which statement about a hypothesis is NOT correct?
A) Experiments or observations are conducted to test a hypothesis.
B) A hypothesis can be tested many times using different methods.
ST
C) Data that support a hypothesis actually prove it to be true.
D) If data from experimentation does not lend support to a hypothesis, the hypothesis
must be rejected or revised.

observations?
A) A scientific paradigm
IA
B) Descriptive research
C) A scientific theory

B) Descriptive.
C) Theoretical.
D) Experimental.
RO
8) What is the goal of using the experimental method to investigate proximate causes in
biology?
A) To disprove biological principles or theories.
B) To test our understanding of a biological system.
C) To better mankind by inventing something unique.
VE
D) To prove or disprove the existence of God.
9) To have a frame of reference against which to compare experimental findings, a scientist
D?
must
A) study two groups: a control group and an experimental group.
B) eliminate all expectations that might cause a biased interpretation of the results.
C) have other scientists look at the results.
??
D) do nothing; a "frame of reference" is not necessary.
