Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The word "hypothesis" means a proposed explanation for a phenomenon or observation. A prediction is a proposed explanation for what may happen in the future, which fits this definition of a hypothesis. The other answer choices, theory and outcome, do not fit the definition of a hypothesis as they are more developed explanations supported by data, rather than proposed explanations that need to be tested.
