(25 pts- 5 pts each) 4ia Hypothesis 1: Hypothesis 2: Test for hypothesis: Supporting Prediction Refuting Prediction:

Explanation / Answer

There can be two hypothesis-

Hypothesis 1- Battery is discharged.

Hypothesis 2- There is a block in the engine which is not allowing it to ignite.

Test for hypothesis 1- We can use the same battery on another car and see if it is working properly or not.

Supporting prediction- The another car in which battery was inserted didn't start too.

Refuting prediction- When the battery is placed in another car then it starts.

If refuting prediction is correct then it means the other hypothesis i.e. hypothesis 2 is correct.
