Interpretation : The difference between a theory and a hypothesis is to be compared.
Concept Introduction : Scientific methods are applied to resolve complicated problems. Theory and hypothesis are the steps in the scientific method.
Answer to Problem 22LC
The hypothesis is developed before an experiment is conducted whereas a theory is the one given after conducting a successful experiment via a hypothesis that explains the experiments.
Explanation of Solution
Scientific methods are applied to resolve complicated problems.
A logical, methodical technique for solving a scientific problem is known as the scientific method.
Making observations, proposing, and testing hypotheses, and creating theories are all steps in the scientific method. A wide range of problems can be resolved using the scientific method.
The observation is done by gathering various information.
A hypothesis is a theory put up to explain an observable. Only if it explains what is really witnessed is it valuable. The hypothesis must be modified when experimental data does not support it.
The experiment is a process used to put a theory to the test.
A hypothesis can be elevated to a higher level of thought after it passes the test of repeated experimentation. It might develop into a theory.
A well-tested theory is an explanation for a large number of observations.
The hypothesis is developed before an experiment is conducted whereas a theory is the one given after conducting a successful experiment via a hypothesis that explains the experiments.
