Explanation of Solution
Making observations, proposing, and testing hypotheses, and creating theories are all steps in the scientific method.
A hypothesis is a theory put up to explain an observable.
An experiment is a process used to put a theory to the test.
The doctor examines the patient and suggests that it might be strep throat. This sentence is a hypothesis assumed by the doctor. The doctor needs to confirm this strep throat by testing the bacteria with the sample. Since the doctor needs to test the bacteria, the sentence is an experiment.
