Suppose that a scientist proposes a hypothesis about how a newly discovered virus affects humans. Other virus researchers would likely
reject the hypothesis right away.
change the hypothesis to fit their own findings.
design new experiments to test the proposed hypothesis.
assume that the hypothesis is true for all viruses.
How do scientific theories compare to hypotheses?

Theories unify a broad range of observations and hypotheses.
Hypotheses combine the ideas of several theories to explain events.
Hypotheses are the dominant view among scientists.
A personal preference or point of view is
a bias.
a theory.
a hypothesis.
an inference.
How does society help science advance?
