Question
Chapter 1, Problem 12A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation :
The difference between theory and hypothesis must be explained and compared.
Concept Introduction :
A hypothesis is imagination or assumption made to explain some phenomena whereas a theory is a principle which can be used to explain a phenomenon in support of which already data is available.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 12A
Hypothesis is done before any experiment is carried out.
Theory is formulated after getting some data or experiment done.
Explanation of Solution
A hypothesis might be proven wrong as it is assumption without having any experimental data or reports. It is formulated to check whether any phenomena can be explained with this.
In case of theory, principles are already accepted in scientific community. Its truthfulness is higher than that of hypothesis.
Similarity between theory and hypothesis is that both are sometimes used interchangeably to express an idea or assumption or speculation.
