Located below is a list of examples of hypotheses. You must critique each hypothesis and assess if it is testable and written properly. Otherwise, revise the statement and make it a good one. 1. If Fertilizer X is applied to mung bean plants, then they will have a higher yield. 2. Increasing the temperature allows faster bacterial growth on an agar medium. 3. The pH of the solution will decrease. 4. If the salary of employees will increase, then employees will be happier. 5. The students got higher scores in the exam because the class size is small. 6. A farmer observed that during seasons of drought and soil becomes more saline, his tomato plants were more susceptible to fungal infection. The combination of salinity and drought and the infestation of fungi led to significant reductions in fruit yield and size. The farmer proposes a general hypothesis, “Salinity and drought affect the severity of fungal infection in tomato plants.”

Scenario: You have been hired by an electric utility company whose stockholders are really pressing the company on ESG matters (environmental, social, governance). The company owns thousands of acres of land surrounding one of its powerplants and leases much of this land to local farmers for agriculture. However, local environmental groups have been stating concerns in the local newspaper about the loss of insect biodiversity on in meadows surrounding the agricultural activities. You have been tasked by the company to develop an experiment to investigate whether a loss of insect biodiversity is occurring in these meadows because of these agricultural activities. Action Steps: Propose a coherent and testable hypothesis that captures some aspect of this concern. Identify the independent and dependent variables in this experiment. Identify any possible confounding variables that might influence your experiment. Identify appropriate controls for your experiment. Demonstrate how you…
