What is the first step of the scientific method?

Forming a hypothesis

Analyzing the results

Making an observation

What is a hypothesis?

A proven fact

An educated guess

A scientific theory

A mathematical model

Answer explanation

A hypothesis is an educated guess because it is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon based on limited evidence. It serves as a starting point for further investigation and experimentation. Unlike a proven fact, a hypothesis is not yet confirmed, and it is different from a scientific theory or a mathematical model, which are more comprehensive explanations supported by a significant amount of evidence.
