Question

a theory differs from a hypothesis in that a theory

multiple choice

○ is broader in scope than a hypothesis.

□ all answers are correct.

○ has predictive power.

○ has more supportive evidence than a hypothesis.

○ ties together many existing observations.

Explanation:

• A theory is broader in scope as it explains a wide range of related phenomena, while a hypothesis is a tentative explanation for a specific observation.
• Theories have predictive power to forecast future events or observations based on the established principles.
• Theories are supported by a large body of evidence from multiple experiments and observations, more than a hypothesis which has preliminary evidence.
• Theories integrate and explain many existing observations into a coherent framework. So all these statements about how a theory differs from a hypothesis are correct.

Answer:

All answers are correct.
