Answer:

1. Observation is what you have gathered after you look over it you my hypothesis of what you gathered. Hypothesis is an explanation of the observations.

2.Technology is the practical application of principles govern by scientific law that in turn is derived through observation and experimentation to prove scientific theory.

3. Ultimately, the difference between inference and prediction is one of fulfilling, a prediction is a educated guess (often about explicit details) that

can be confirmed or denied, while an inference is more concerned with the implicit.

4. Inference is something you know what going to happen next. ... Critical thinking is comparing what you already know to someone else. Inference is what you think you know is right.

5. Bias should not be part of scientific inquiry because science should be about impartially seeking objective truths through testing a hypothesis and analyzing the results. Bias leads you to find a particular result that fits a prejudgment.

6. 1. Smoking cigarettes increase the changes of cancer of the lungs. 2. Alcohol abuse can cause cirrhosis of the river. 3. Playing video games increases hand to eye coordination. 4. Adding certain fertilizers to plants helps them grow taller.

7. 1. Knowledge of the researcher. It's important to consider the researchers capacity and capability in the field which he/she wants to discover. In sence, it is in his proximity of study in order for him/her to do such approach. 2. Tools used. Making sure whatever measurement the investigator is using should be valid and reliable. Avoiding the possible results to become biased and unstable due to errors which should be avoided. 3. Sampling Method. Obtain the samples which are appropriate and that would cover the entire participants studied- not a half but the entirely of what you want to study. Entirely means as much as the possible sample covers. 4. Population. Knowing the involved participants and respondents in the study, property defineing and clustering helps the study avoid bias.

8. Critical thinking is the analysis of facts to form a judgement. The subject is complex, and several different definitions exist, which generally include the rational, skeptical, unbiased analysis, or evaluation of factual evidence.
