A quick definition of testable:

Testable: Something that can be tested or proven through experimentation or observation. It can also refer to someone who is legally qualified to give evidence in court or make a will. For example, a scientist might have a testable hypothesis that they can prove through experiments. In terms of property, most things are considered testable and can be transferred through a will. Additionally, a person who is 18 years old or older is testable and can make a will. Finally, a witness who is testable is someone who is legally qualified to give evidence in court.

A more thorough explanation:

Testable, adjective

  1. Capable of being tested. For example, a hypothesis that can be tested through experiments is considered testable.
  2. Capable of being transferred by will. For instance, property that can be passed on to heirs through a will is considered testable.
  3. Capable of making a will. For example, a person who is legally allowed to create a will is considered testable.
  4. Legally qualified to testify as a witness or give evidence. For instance, a witness who is allowed to provide testimony in a court of law is considered testable about the statement.

Example 1: A scientist proposes a hypothesis that a new drug can cure a certain disease. To test this hypothesis, the scientist conducts experiments on a group of patients. If the results of the experiments show that the drug is effective in curing the disease, then the hypothesis is testable.

Example 2: John owns a house and wants to pass it on to his children after he dies. He creates a will that specifies how the property should be divided among his heirs. Since the property can be transferred through a will, it is considered testable.

Example 3: In some states, a person must be at least 18 years old to create a will. If a person is 18 years old or older, they are considered testable and can legally make a will.

Example 4: During a trial, a witness is asked to provide testimony about a statement they heard. If the witness is legally qualified to testify, they are considered testable about the statement and can provide evidence in court.

These examples illustrate the different meanings of the term "testable." In each case, something is considered testable if it meets certain criteria. For example, a hypothesis is testable if it can be tested through experiments, and a person is testable if they are legally allowed to create a will or provide testimony in court.
