I wonder if you smoke more cigarettes, will you have a better chance of getting lung cancer? State a good hypothesis for this question.

What is...I think the more cigarettes you smoke, the more likely you will have lung cancer because cigarettes clogs up the airways in the human body.

Read the following experiment and state a good hypothesis. I am doing a test to see if there is a connection between how long you run and how fast your heart beats. I will be performing an experiment where a person will run for a 1 minute and I will check their heartbeat. Then they will run for 2 minutes and I will check their heart rate. I will do this up to 6 minutes and see if there is a connection. What do you think my hypothesis should be?

I think if I increase the amount of time I run, then my heartbeat will increase because I am breathing in more air faster.
