What effects do food supplements have on increasing muscle mass in feeder pigs? You have used some supplements on your feeder pig farm in the past, but you now want to experiment on how they affect the pigs development.

How might prior knowledge as a pig farmer affect how you form a hypothesis and an experiment on this research question?

A) Due to your prior knowledge on supplements, you would only need to test one to prove what you already believe is true.
B) Being familiar with pigs and their feeding habits, you don't need an experiment to determine the answer to the research question.
C) Your knowledge of feeder pig development might allow you to limit the number and types of supplements test, allowing you to be more efficient.
D) Your prior knowledge as an expert in food supplements will allow you to bypass any future research.

The answer is C because it is the only one that would allow you to conduct a proper/credible experiment.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

A scientific experiment is performed to test the predicted hypothesis which is based on the previous research.

In the given question, the researcher has performed the test on pig farms in the past related to the supplement which could have provided the related data to form a hypothesis.

To test how the supplements affect the pig's development, the previous knowledge will be used to form a hypothesis and to organize the samples in the experiment which will reduce the time as well as will increase the efficiency of the experiment.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
