If the salary of employees will increase, then employees will be happier. 2. The students got higher scores in the exam because the class size is small. 3. A farmer observed that during seasons of drought and soil becomes more saline, his tomato plants were more susceptible to fungal infection. The combination of salinity and drought and the infestation of fungi led to significant reductions in fruit yield and size. The farmer proposes a general hypothesis, “Salinity and drought affect the severity of fungal infection in tomato plants.”
Located below is a list of examples of hypotheses. You must critique each hypothesis and assess if it is testable and written properly. Otherwise, revise the statement and make it a good one.
