Detailed explanation-1: -A logical hypothesis suggests a relationship between variables without actual evidence. Claims are instead based on reasoning or deduction, but lack actual data. Examples: An alien raised on Venus would have trouble breathing in Earth’s atmosphere. Dinosaurs with sharp, pointed teeth were probably carnivores.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hypotheses are often specific predictions about what will happen in a particular study. They are developed by considering existing evidence and using reasoning to infer what will happen in the specific context of interest.
Detailed explanation-3: -A hypothesis is not just a guess-it should be based on existing theories and knowledge. It also has to be testable, which means you can support or refute it through scientific research methods (such as experiments, observations and statistical analysis of data). What are null and alternative hypotheses?
Detailed explanation-4: -In scientific reasoning, a hypothesis is constructed before any applicable research has been done. A theory, on the other hand, is supported by evidence: it’s a principle formed as an attempt to explain things that have already been substantiated by data.
