Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

To explain: how many people get attracted to red color by hypothesis and prediction.

Answer to Problem 8E

Solution:

Hypothesis and prediction is different. But we can predict and it can be stated as hypothesis.

Explanation of Solution

The hypothesis is unproven theories which need to be explained and proved. In certain hypothesis, it can be proved and in some cases, it could be a flaw.

Prediction is just a random guess of what will happen next by observing previous observations.

In this case, the hypothesis are people who will generally get attracted to bright color, so it is predicted that red color is bright, people will get attracted to it and choose that as their favorite color.

Conclusion:

So, it is predicted that bright red color will attract many people.
