Detailed explanation-1: -A hypothesis is not a prediction. Rather, a prediction is derived from a hypothesis. A causal hypothesis and a law are two different types of scientific knowledge, and a causal hypothesis cannot become a law. A theory is not necessarily a well-supported explanation.

Detailed explanation-2: -A hypothesis is a tentative statement about the relationship between two or more variables. It is a specific, testable prediction about what you expect to happen in a study.

Detailed explanation-3: -The prediction is a statement of the expected results of the experiment based on the hypothesis. The prediction is often an “if/then statement.” For example: If increasing fertilizer increases number of beans, then coffee bean plants treated with more fertilizer will have more beans.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hypothesis: Marigolds deter asparagus beetles. Prediction: If marigolds deter asparagus beetles, and we grow asparagus next to marigolds, then we should find fewer asparagus beetles when asparagus plants are planted with marigolds.
