Emily's answer constitutes a "hypothesis".


A hypothesis, in a scientific context, is a testable proclamation about the connection between at least two factors or a proposed clarification for some watched marvel. In a scientific experiment or study, the theory is a concise summation of the scientist's forecast of the examination's discoveries, which might be bolstered or not by the result. Hypothesis is the center of the logical strategy.
