Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This question refers to the concept of a hypothesis, which is a tentative explanation for a phenomenon. In order for a hypothesis to be useful, it must specify how two or more variables are expected to relate to each other. Therefore, the statement about two or more variables is what distinguishes a hypothesis from a theory or concept. Option C is the best choice because it correctly pairs a hypothesis with variables. Option A and E are incorrect because they pair a theory with hypotheses or concepts, respectively. Option D is incorrect because it refers to a compatibility test, which is not directly related to the practice of hypothesis testing.
