Which of the following is an example of a hypothesis?
a.) a prediction that a tire's air pressure will increase if the tire's temperature is raised
b.) experimental results that show that increasing the number of particles in a container will cause the pressure in the container to increase
c.) an explanation for why air pressure in a closed container increases when the container size is decreased
d.) none of the above

A.) a prediction that a tire's air pressure will increase if the tire's temperature is raised.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by considering that a hypothesis is a proposed statement pretending to explain an observable phenomena that has not been substantiated yet, the answer is: A.) a prediction that a tire's air pressure will increase if the tire's temperature is raised since B.) accounts for the experimental part in the scientific method and C.) for the conclusion or theory once the experiments led to it (last part in the scientific method). Therefore, A.) option shows a possible prediction about the effect of temperature on a tire's air pressure.

Best regards.

the population of unionid mussels in the hudson river decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. the unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.

hope this :
