Stating a hypothesis before conducting experiments ensures that the method will follow an inductive process of reasoning. By stating a formal hypothesis, a scientist can adequately design the best control conditions for designing experiments intended to falsify the hypothesis. When a formal hypothesis is tested once, it will be accepted as theory no matter what the results of subsequent experiments suggest.arrow_forward
