RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

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 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-3: -A hypothesis is an educated guess about what will happen in your experiment. It is NOT just a random guess! Your hypothesis should have some reason or factual basis for happening.

Detailed explanation-4: -A few examples of simple hypotheses: “Students who eat breakfast will perform better on a math exam than students who do not eat breakfast.” Complex hypothesis: “Students who experience test anxiety before an English exam will get lower scores than students who do not experience test anxiety."

Detailed explanation-5: -A prediction is a guess on the outcome of an experiment that can occur if the original hypothesized phenomenon is true. Predictions help forecast future events or factors that can result in the scientist forming a new hypothesis. Typically, you can write a prediction as an if or then statement.
