Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A hypothesis is a testable statement that tries to explain relationships. Once a hypothesis is tested, it can be accepted or rejected. A fundamental hypothesis expresses one’s belief or suspicion about a relationship, e.g., “Smoking causes lung cancer.” This statement is not easily testable, however.
Detailed explanation-2: -Task. A non-testable hypothesis is an idea or prediction that cannot be proven correct or incorrect by an experiment. There are no observations that a scientist could make to tell whether or not the hypothesis is correct.
