Scientists are motivated by the thrill of seeing or figuring out something that no one has before. Science is useful. The knowledge generated by science is powerful and reliable. Science is a system of knowledge as well as a process. Importantly, science is also a process of discovery that allows isolated facts to be linked to a coherent and detailed understanding of the natural world. Science is fascinating.

Scientists are motivated by the urge to see or understand something that no one else has. Science is useful. The knowledge generated by science is powerful and reliable.

HYPOTHESIS PREPARATION AND TESTING

For most problems we have to decide for ourselves whether a certain parameter should be accepted or rejected. This statement is commonly referred to as a hypothesis, and the decision-making process of the hypothesis is called a hypothetical test. This is a very useful concept in statistical hypotheses, and many hypotheses can form a number of decision-making problems as test problems. As you have learned, hypothetical testing is an observational process that involves developing a problem based on the information you obtain and attempting to solve it scientifically. Research is used to examine relevant data to substantiate (or substantiate) the assumptions contained herein. In many ways, the formal procedure for hypothetical testing is similar to the scientific method. The scientist observes nature, develops a theory, and then tests this theory against observation. A research hypothesis is the statement made by researchers when they speculate about the outcome of a research or
