Questions aligned with the evaluation skill asked students to evaluate a hypothesis, based first on one piece of data and then on two pieces of data.
By looking at how well microbes can survive in space, scientists can better evaluate a hypothesis that life may have first arisen on Mars and then was carried to Earth on a meteorite.
Thoughtful selection of the testing technique during experimental design to evaluate a hypothesis is critical to optimize biomechanical testing of vocal fold tissues.
Consider also that, to evaluate a hypothesis of the form e 1, …, e n → P, one must perform experiments in which only e 1, …, e n hold, to see whether P occurs or not (plus other control experiments in which some of the antecedent conditions are varied).
We will use data from occlusion and wear facets to evaluate a hypothesis of cusp homology.
Here, we apply the method to data collected from callitrichid monkeys, in order to evaluate a hypothesis [19], [25] concerning the circumstances under which animals, including humans, rely on social learning as opposed to their own direct (asocial) experience.
For example, to evaluate a hypothesis, one needs to analyze the data on which the hypothesis is based and draw one's own conclusions from these data.
Bayesian inference is based on Bayes' Rule, which evaluates a hypothesis, H, in light of some data, D, and some prior information, I.
Questions 2-3, 3-1, and 4-1 then prompted students to evaluate a hypothesis (question 2-3) and propose a new hypothesis based on both pieces of data (questions 3-1 and 4-1).
In the first part of the test (questions 1-1 through 1-3, AppendiCes C and D in the Supplemental Material), the students were asked to interpret data, draw conclusions, and evaluate a hypothesis based on the first piece of data.
