Explanation / Answer

Answer

Scientific theory is the result of inductive reasoning based on repeated and confirmed observation.

To establish an scientific theory you have go through following steps:

Identify a problem.

Collect data based on observation.

Hypothesis.

Test the hypothesis.

Establishment of theory based on repeated experiment.

If the hypothesis is consistent on repetition of experiment it is called as THEORY.

If the consistency of theory varies, it is called as HYPOTHESIS.

A scientific theory must be stable, consistent, repeatable (same result on repetition of an experiment).
