what two sentences most accurately define a hypothesis?
□ its an approximate guess.
□ its a testable explanation.
□ its a theory based on observations and prior knowledge.
□ its an explanation based on experience that need not be tested.
□ its a statement based on scientific evidence and/or observations.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a testable explanation. It is also a statement based on scientific evidence and/or observations. An approximate guess is too vague. A theory is more developed than a hypothesis. An explanation that need not be tested is not a hypothesis.

Answer:

It's a testable explanation.
It's a statement based on scientific evidence and/or observations.
