Question

How can evidence from an experiment be explained in relationship to the hypothesis?
as a prediction
as a question
as an inference
as a conclusion

Answer 1

As an inference.

Evidence is used to infer (reason about) whether the data support or refute the hypothesis. It is not a prediction (predictions come before the experiment) or a question, and while a conclusion is a final summary, the act of explaining how evidence relates to the hypothesis is making an inference.
