A fundamental hypothesis expresses one’s belief or suspicion about a relationship, e.g., “Smoking causes lung cancer.” This statement is not easily testable, however.

Detailed explanation-3: -A hypothesis must be testable because it has to be possible to make predictions about the experiment’s outcome or the investigation’s results. The outcome of the experiment or investigation may include whether a treatment worked, whether a drug was effective, and how long an animal lived.

Detailed explanation-4: -Criteria for good hypotheses be as brief and clear as possible; state an expected relationship or difference between two or more variables; be testable; and. be grounded in past knowledge, gained from the literature review or from theory.
