Question

choose which step of the scientific method is represented by this statement:
people who increase their caloric intake by 1000 calories per day are more likely to develop hypertension (high blood pressure).
○ a) hypothesis
○ b) experiment
○ c) results
○ d) conclusion

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a testable prediction about the relationship between variables. The statement predicts a relationship between increased caloric intake (1000 calories/day) and developing hypertension. An experiment would be the process of testing this, results are data from testing, and a conclusion is the final judgment after analysis. So this is a hypothesis.

Answer:

a) Hypothesis
