Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When is a hypothesis written?
A
before you decide on a question
B
after the experiment
C
before the experiment
D
after the conclusion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A hypothesis is a prediction about what could happen in an experiment based on prior knowledge, sometimes called an educated guess. A hypothesis is created prior to any experimentation, after a scientist has asked a question they are interested in and have done background research on the topic.

Detailed explanation-2: -The second step in the scientific method is to form a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a possible explanation for a set of observations or an answer to a scientific question. A hypothesis must be testable and measurable.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hypothesis is an educated guess as to what will happen during your experiment. The hypothesis is often written using the words “IF” and “THEN.” For example, “If I do not study, then I will fail the test.” The “if’ and “then” statements reflect your independent and dependent variables.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hypotheses are used to support scientific research and create breakthroughs in knowledge. These brief statements are what form the basis of entire research experiments. Thus, a flaw in the formulation of a hypothesis may cause a flaw in the design of an entire experiment.
