Detailed explanation-1: -The hypothesis is an educated guess as to what will happen during your experiment. The hypothesis is often written using the words “IF” and “THEN.” For example, “If I do not study, then I will fail the test.” The “if’ and “then” statements reflect your independent and dependent variables.

Detailed explanation-2: -A trial solution to a problem is commonly referred to as a hypothesis-or, often, as an “educated guess"-because it provides a suggested outcome based on the evidence. However, some scientists reject the term “educated guess” as incorrect. Experimenters may test and reject several hypotheses before solving the problem.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is a hypothesis? A hypothesis states your predictions about what your research will find. It is a tentative answer to your research question that has not yet been tested. For some research projects, you might have to write several hypotheses that address different aspects of your research question.

Detailed explanation-4: -In science, an educated guess is called a hypothesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -A hypothesis is an idea or proposition that can be tested by observations or experiments, about the natural world. In order to be considered scientific, hypotheses are subject to scientific evaluation and must be falsifiable, which means that they are worded in such a way that they can be proven to be incorrect.
