Question

What is formed as a possible explanation to a scientific question that has yet to be tested?

Answer 1

`"An hypothesis....?"`

Explanation:

An hypothesis is a proposed rationalization of an experimental phenomenon based on a single experiment or a limited number of experiments. An hypothesis may be right or it may be wrong. An hypothesis is scientific if it is `"testable"`, i.e. there is a clear, and rational experiment that may be performed whose results would confirm or deny the hypothesis. Both results are useful scientifically. Confirmation means that the hypothesis may be tested in other scenarios. Denial means that the hypothesis may be rejected.
