Answer:
Hypothesis
Explanation:
The following steps are applicable when we wish to prove a specific fact:
- a hypothesis is made; this is a statement that we provide after some observations and we wish to either prove or deny it;
- multiple experiments are carried out in order to gather significantly substantial amount of data that can be then further analyzed and any tendencies can be noticed;
