A biologist hypothesizes that restricting food from mice will decrease their activity. He designs an experiment in which he observes the activity of 50 mice under restricted food regimens.
Which of the following is true about his study?
Answer (2)
A hypothesis needs to be validated or rejected, so the first sentence is true because it's his point of view that he wants to investigate. It wouldn't be truth if it's thesis (not hypothesis), because he would have no proof for that.
The biologist's hypothesis that restricting food will decrease mouse activity is testable and can be evaluated through a well-designed experiment. Key aspects include the identification of variables, the need for control groups, and the replicability of the experiment. Properly measuring and comparing the activity of food-restricted and normally-fed mice will help validate or reject the hypothesis.
