Failure to falsify a hypothesis proves that hypothesis.

- The hypothetico-deductive method in science includes all of the following components except: logical deduction (from a universal rule to particular predictions), as emphasized by Aristotle designing a critical test for the hypothesis, as exemplified by Galileo’s test of falling objects unquestioning acceptance of Aristotle’s authority, as practiced by late medieval scholastics continuous testing of the hypothesis by further inquiry, as emphasized by Socrates logical induction (from particulars to universals), as emphasized by Platoarrow_forwardBased on the results depicted above, what do you conclude about your hypothesis? Give specific explanations for this conclusion.

- A useful hypothesis typically accomplishes these two things: Group of answer choices it is falsifiable and clear it clearly establishes a null hypothesis and it generates a testable prediction it can be easily disproved and will be considered a theory if not disproved it frames an experiment that can shed light on the observation and guides design of the experimentarrow_forwardWhy is a theory more comprehensive than a conclusion?arrow_forwardWhat is the distinguish between a hypothesis and a scientific theory?arrow_forward
