False. A hypothesis is not just a lucky guess; it is a testable statement or prediction based on existing knowledge and observations. It is formed through reasoning and prior evidence, and it can be tested through experimentation and research.

False. The conclusion of a study should reflect the results of the research, which may support or refute the hypothesis. Evidence may lead to the acceptance or rejection of the hypothesis, but it is not guaranteed that every study will conclude that the hypothesis is correct.

The variable that is measured in an experiment is called the **dependent variable**. The dependent variable is affected by changes in the independent variable, which is the variable that is manipulated or controlled by the researcher.

False. Most scientists do not come up with questions to investigate "out of the blue." Instead, they typically develop questions based on prior research, observations, existing knowledge, and gaps in the current understanding of a topic. Scientific inquiry is often a systematic process that builds upon previous findings.

The option that represents qualitative data is **fur texture**. Qualitative data refers to non-numeric information that describes characteristics or qualities, while the other options (tail length, number of eggs, and mass of objects) represent quantitative data, which are numerical measurements.
