I remember, in college, reading a study where someone took tens of thousands of multiple-choice tests from different disciplines and studies. The result was that, on a standard 4-choice test, the letter "C" came up more than 28% of the time as an answer.
This was due to "writer's bias," and the author assumed it was because the letter "C" - or the third choice - would "be hidden" as a selection.
A small deviation from 25%, sure, but now, as a high-school teacher and an Ohio graduation test-prep tutor, I tell my kids that, if they come across a question where they absolutely can't use deduction and/or find an educated guess (e.g., "What is the capital of Mongolia?" with 4 similar answers), to pick the letter "C" - you have at least a 1 in 4 chance of being right, and if you consistently pick "C" in these circumstances (hopefully only once or twice per test!), you have a slightly mathematically higher chance of getting that question right... maybe only a fraction higher, but at that point, "Play the numbers!"

Why do you formulate hypothesis?
A hypothesis is a guess about the outcome of an experiment due to research. You basically say, "I think the substance will dissolve when I add water to it," then test your theory out.Answerit is simple,hypothesis is a suggested solution or explanation to a problem or a phenomenon. so u will just write what u think is the solution to that problem. for example is a newtons law .it was first a hypothesis and when it accepted it became a law AddendumA hypothesis does not graduate into a law. A hypothesis explains something, a law describes basic behavior.The law of gravitation is the description of the behavior - the theory of gravitation is the explaination for why things fall down.They are related, but not the same thing.
What is a Reasonableness test?
Nicky Hartwell The reasonableness test is a flexible and open ended test. If UCTA1 had simply introduced a requirement that particular clauses must comply with the requirement of reasonableness, without any further guidance, it would have created a highly uncertain test. In order to redress the balance between certainty and fairness, the Act itself provides guidance on how the test is to be applied.2 There exists an extensive body of case law on its application. The broad reasonableness requirement is circumscribed by a list of relevant factors, which the courts will take into account when assessing whether a term meets that requirement. The application of the "reasonableness" test is a useful example of how the courts approach a broad flexible standard in the interests of fairness. http://perseus.herts.ac.uk/uhinfo/library/l33293_3.pdf Nicky Hartwell The reasonableness test is a flexible and open ended test.
