You can rub a mineral against a white tile to see its?
I'm honestly not sure what your instructor expects there. The name of that procedure is the "streak test", but that doesn't quite fit in the sentence.
Can a hypothesis be a question?
Not necessarily. Let's say that we're testing a new medicine to treat heart disease. We wish to compare it against the current standard of care, so we might have what we call a "research hypothesis" stated as a question with a specific, measurable goal: Does the new medicine reduce mortality when compared to current medicine?" We could just as easily say "improve symptoms" as "reduce mortality", its all about what the new medicine is expected to do. In statistical terms, there's a different approach stated as a null hypothesis, which is not a question but a simple statement that there is no difference between the new and current drugs, something like "There is no difference in mortality between new drug and old drug." We then perform statistical tests to see if a difference is present - if we can't find a difference, we conclude the drug is truly no different. If we DO see a difference, we then reject the null hypothesis in favor of an alternate hypothesis that there IS a difference.

Once you have your hypothesis what must you do next?
Test your hypothesis against the data
List ways hypothesis can be supported?
A hypothesis can be supported by checking it against your research to see if it is true, checking it against research done by others, and testing your hypothesis rapidity.
What should you do immediately after forming your hypothesis?
Test your hypothesis against the available data
What is a hypothesis for how many numbers can you remember?
A statistical hypothesis is anything that can be tested against observations. So the hypothesis can be that you can remember two numbers.
Why is a theory more accepted than hypothesis?
A theory is a hypothesis which has been tested (against "reality").
What is the liberation hypothesis?
Liberation hypothesis is hypothesis impliying that when the strength of the evidence against a defendant is weak, jurors are free to rely on nonlegal information to inform their decision.
Can you accept a null hypothesis under the t statistic and then reject the same null hypothesis using the F statistic?
At the same level of significance and against the same alternative hypothesis, the two tests are equivalent.
What does it mean to support or refute a hypothesis?
To support a hypothesis means you agree, and may even give supporting evidence.To refute it means you submit evidence that a hypothesis is incorrect , or you make a cogent and persuasive argument against it.
When should you accept a null hypothesis?
The null hypothesis cannot be accepted. Statistical tests only check whether differences in means are probably due to chance differences in sampling (the reason variance is so important). So if the p-value obtained by the data is larger than the significance level against which you are testing, we only fail to reject the null. If the p-value is lower than the significance level, the null hypothesis is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis.
What a scientific hypothesis must be?
Does it fit all the known facts AND can it be tested against reality.
In science what's theory?
