Empirical Evidence
Empirical evidence forms the foundation of scientific knowledge through observation and experimentation
24 Jan 2026
0
Why is empirical evidence considered essential in the scientific method?
Because it relies solely on theoretical speculation without the need for observation.
Because it is based on personal beliefs and opinions rather than experimental data.
Because it provides observable and measurable data that can be independently verified to support or refute hypotheses.

Hypothesis Formation
Hypothesis formation relies on abductive reasoning to find the simplest and most likely explanations
23 Jan 2026
0
How does abductive reasoning differ from deductive and inductive reasoning in the context of hypothesis formation?
Abductive reasoning seeks the simplest and most likely explanation, while deductive reasoning guarantees conclusions and inductive reasoning generalizes from specific cases.
Abductive reasoning guarantees conclusions based on premises, unlike deductive reasoning which only suggests likely explanations.
Abductive reasoning generalizes from specific observations to broad laws, similar to inductive reasoning.

Observation
Observed data forms the empirical foundation of scientific discovery through direct engagement
22 Jan 2026
0
Why is observed data considered more reliable than data from secondary sources in scientific research?
Because it is collected directly through firsthand engagement with the phenomena, reducing bias and errors.
Because it is always collected using advanced technology, making it more accurate.
Because it does not require any interpretation or analysis by the researcher.
