Answer:

Making a prediction based on the hypothesis and Testing the hypothesis.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is the potential answer to a question that can be tested. Once a hypothesis has been raised, it must be tested by looking whether the prediction of that hypothesis is correct or not. The prediction is the expected outcome  if the hypothesis is correct.

To test a hypothesis, an experiment associated with the prediction must be performed. The results of the experiment may either support or contradict the hypothesis. Results supporting a hypothesis do not mean that such hypothesis is irrefutable, but they are evidence that the hypothesis is correct. On the other hand,  results contradicting a hypothesis point that the hypothesis is probably not correct.

It's necessary because hair doesn't grow constant or consistent and 25 to 50 hairs are needed for an accurate test. This decreases false positive results. c. The hair drug test can go back to about 90 days to see if she has been clean within that time. Beyond that, interviews with family and friends would also be helpful. Phone records would also show if there has been any contact with a dealer. d.This doesn't prove she's guilty because it just places her at the scene and could be circumstantial.</span>
