9. State the hypothesis being tested in Case A. Think: What was the testable question the scientists running the experiment were trying to answer?
Remember the format when writing your hypothesis "If.....then.....because.....". (Click here to watch video)

The hypothesis being tested in Case A is "If the participants are exposed to violent video games, then their aggression levels will increase because the violent content in the games may promote aggressive behavior."
The hypothesis being tested in Case A is: "If plants are exposed to different types of music, then they will grow at different rates because music may have an effect on plant growth."
To determine the hypothesis being tested in Case A, we need more information about the experiment or scenario that Case A is referring to. Without any context, it is not possible to provide a specific hypothesis for Case A.
However, a general format for writing a hypothesis is "If [independent variable is manipulated], then [dependent variable] will [show a specific change], because [provide a reason or explanation]." In scientific experiments, a hypothesis is a testable prediction that states the relationship between the independent variable (the variable being manipulated) and the dependent variable (the variable being measured).
To determine the hypothesis in Case A, you would need to review the background information or experimental setup provided and identify what question the scientists were trying to answer or what specific relationship they were investigating.
