Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 6A
What does it mean to say that if a hypothesis is scientific, then there must be a means of proving it wrong?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To Explain: A hypothesis is scientific, then there must be a means of proving it wrong.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Science deals with discovering new fact and relationships with observable phenomena in nature. A hypothesis is an educated guess that is not fully accepted.
Scientists hypothesis not get fully accepted until it is demonstrated by an experiment. To determine whether the hypothesis is scientific or not there must be a test for proving it wrong. If there is no test to prove it wrong then the hypothesis is not scientific.
Conclusion:
To test hypothesis is scientific or not then to prove it wrong there is test to prove it wrong.
