Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Discovery-based science is the collection and analysis of data without having a preconceived hypothesis. The information gathered from discovery-based science may lead to the formation of new hypotheses. The new hypothesis may have a practical application which benefits people in the long run. Discovery-based science often leads to hypothesis testing. Whereas, the scientific method is also known as hypothesis testing. In this method formulation and testing of the validity of a hypothesis is carried out through experimentation. The experimentation determines if the predictions are correct or not based on the analysis of the data.
