Which of the following conditions must be satisfied by a hypothesis to be related to science? I. It should correspond to the whole. II. It should be testable with support with relevant data. Correct Answer I and II

The hypothesis can be supported or disproved through experimentation or more observation. One uses knowledge or concepts as “tools” for understanding the situation. But to be scientific, a hypothesis must satisfy two conditions. One condition is that it should be consistent with the evidence as a whole. The second condition is that it should be testable by supporting it with relevant data. If one is reluctant to collect evidence for accepting it as truth and it is a pseudoscience.

  •  For developing a hypothesis, one needs to identify characteristics of an object, event or phenomenon that is relevant for giving an explanation.
  • Then one needs to connect it with some relevant idea that you experienced previously. Here one should insist on giving cause and effect relationship between two variables.

Hence, we can say that both statements are correct.
