AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A predictive hypothesis (an educated guess about the relationships among variables) makes a specific prediction or set of predictions about the relationships among variables.

Detailed explanation-2: -A simple hypothesis is a hypothesis that there exists a relationship between two variables. One is called a dependent variable, and the other is called an independent variable.

Detailed explanation-3: -A hypothesis is an educated guess or prediction about the relationship between two variables. It must be a testable statement; something that you can support or falsify with observable evidence. The objective of a hypothesis is for an idea to be tested, not proven.

Detailed explanation-4: -An associative hypothesis defines the relationship and interdependency between variables. For example, an associative hypothesis predicts that a change in one variable will result in a change of the other variable.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
