Consider the following prediction.
Prediction: If cows need to eat protein to build muscle tissue, then an
increase in the amount of protein in a cow's diet will result in an increase in
the average weight of a cow over a two-year period.
Which of the following best describes this prediction?
O
A. The hypothesis is not useful because it is too long as a sentence
and therefore difficult to read.
O
B. The prediction is useful because it proves that the hypothesis is

The correct answer to this question is:

“The prediction is useful because it explains what observations will be made if a hypothesis is true.”

Answer:

Option C, The prediction is useful because it specifies what observations

will be made to test a hypothesis.

Explanation:

The actual hypothesis could be - Muscle tissues of cow are built on eating protein

Now the statement given in the question is useful because it signifies the method of measuring the change caused by increasing the intake of protein in cows diet and this is to be done by measuring her weight.

Thus, if protein content in cow's diet is increased then the weight of the cow should also increase as extra proteins will build more muscles.

Option C is correct
