prediction is to explanation as hypothesis is to evidence.
When making a prediction, we are making an educated guess about a future outcome or event. Similarly, when formulating a hypothesis, we are proposing a tentative explanation for a phenomenon or a question.
To support the prediction, we would provide an explanation by presenting evidence and logical reasoning. Similarly, when testing a hypothesis, we aim to gather evidence and conduct experiments to either support or reject the proposed explanation.
