You performed an experiment testing the hypothesis that the increased corn yield this year was due to a new type of corn that the farmers planted. In your experiment, you found that the new type of corn produces a lot more corn than an older type. You conclude you proved your hypothesis: this new type of corn is responsible for this year’s higher production of corn. Are you correct?
Choose one:
A. Yes. If your results show higher production in the new corn, then there is no other possible explanation.
B. No. Your results support your hypothesis, but other explanations are always possible.
C. No. Just because you think your corn is good does not mean other people will believe it’s good.
