11.   The study will test several hypotheses about the relation between perceptual and cognitive skills.

12.   The researcher sets up experiments to test the hypothesis.

13.   In other cases, evidence has to be weighed and balanced, whereas in so much of quantitative research the aim is explicitly to test hypotheses.

14.   Food intake must be evaluated during healing to test these hypotheses.

15.   This hypothesis was tested by comparing the DNA fingerprints of each isolate of H pylori in the study to identify any family members harbouring the same strain.

16.   To test this hypothesis we have examined gastric mucosal DNA for the presence of DNA adducts.

17.   This hypothesis was tested by two ongoing trials of H pylori eradication treatment, one in patients with duodenal ulcer disease and the other in patients with intestinal metaplasia.

18.   We used bilateral intrahippocampal microdialysis to test the hypothesis that an increase in extracellular glutamate may trigger spontaneous seizures.

19.   These ideas may seem fanciful, but Price justifies such speculation as leading us to consider and test new hypotheses which might otherwise not have been considered.
