Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An empirical evidence illustrates facts that are drawn from experimentation and observations. These are usually drawn from the way we see and percieve our environment using our senses.

A hypothesis is best and simply defined as a scientific guess. It is often a direct product of empirical studies of a particular problem. Most times when scientists gather facts and principles have been formulated, they try to explain their observation. This explanation is the hypothesis. The satement of the hypothesis is usually tentantive. Sometimes, we can have several hypothesis for a common source of empirical evidence.
