You tell him the battery may be dead, and that if so, then jump-starting the car from a good battery should solve the problem. In doing so, you are ___________. offering a specific hypothesis and associated prediction to explain why the car won't start. summarizing observations about why the car won't start. stating a scientific theory for why the car won't start. performing an experimental test of a hypothesis for why the car won't start

Answer 1

Answer:

offering a specific hypothesis and associated prediction to explain why the car won't start

Explanation:

A hypothesis can be defined to be a wise guess. It is a proposed explanation that is given on little evidence. A specific hypothesis can be described as a statement if prediction.

By telling my friend that his car would not start because his battery may be dead, and he has to jumpstart from a good battery, I have given him a specific hypothesis and also a predicted explanation as to why his car has refused to start.
