Question

Which of the following statements is true?

A hypothesis can lead to either a theory or a law.

A hypothesis always leads to a theory which leads to a law.

A hypothesis always leads to a law which leads to a theory.

A hypothesis must lead to a theory only.

I know a hypothesis can lead to a theory, but does a theory lead to a law, or is the law seperate?

Answer 1

when a scientist investigates a a hypothesis they follow a line of reasoning which will soon become a theory but in order to be excepted by all scientists it hast to be tested and becomes a law. So your answer would be a hypothesis always leads to a theory which leads to a law. A law is something all scientists use because its been proven true and a theory is one that hasnt been proven true and isnt used by every scientist

Answer 2

Great, thanks!
