What is Falsifiable means?
A. Unproven and absolute possible to be a false experiment.
B. Unproven or confirmed to be a false experiment.
C. Proven or confirmed to be a true experiment.
D. Proven and absolute impossible to be a true experiment.
..“if our prediction fails, we still can validly conclude the hypothesis is incorrect”..
True

Maybe
True
False
I don't know
Transient underdetermination define as theories that are not empirically equivalent, yet are equally well confirmed by the evidence.
True
False
Which statement explain transient underdetermination?
A. Theories that are not empirically equivalent yet are equally well confirmed by the evidence.
B. Takes a set of evidence and shows that more than one theory can be supported by it.
C. There’s inability to test hypothesis in isolation leaves with underdetermined in the response to a failed prediction or some other piece of disconfirming evidence.
D. The information doesn’t enough to tell what the solution to the problem.
Identify which are true (tick all that apply)
A. No theory can be proven to be true
B. We cannot show that theories will continue to make correct predictions
C. Not all theory can be proven to be false
D. Theories can be shown to make correct predictions
Holistic underdetermination can best understand as
A. It occurs sometimes when our inability to examine the hypothesis at the same time causes us to determine our reaction to failed predictions or some undeniable evidence.
B. It occurs when our inability to examine the hypothesis separately causes us to not be able to determine our reaction to unsuccessful predictions or some unsuccessful evidence at that time.
C. It arises whenever our disability to test hypotheses in isolation leaves us undetermined in our response to a failed prediction or some exclusive portions of disconfirming evidence.
D. It occurs one -third when our inability to examine the hypothesis separately causes us to determine our reaction to successful predictions or some successful evidence.
Select types of underdetermination
A. Holistic underdetermination
B. Transient underdetermination
C. Fundamentals underdetermination
D. Equivalence underdetermination
Which of these problems suggest that falsifiability cannot be used as the only scientific principle? (Tick all that apply)
A. Theory- laden facts (every observable fact already contains an element of theory in it)
B. Confirmation bias (scientists have a tendency to look for supporting evidence and downplay contradicting evidence)
C. Underdetermination of theory by evidence (usually more than one theory fits the available data equally well)
D. Insufficiency of evidence (supporting evidence can be found even for the most absurd beliefs)
