Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -After a hypothesis has been formed, scientists conduct experiments to test its validity.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. This means that researchers must be able to carry out investi-gations and gather evidence that will either support or disprove the hypothesis.
