Detailed explanation-1: -A hypothesis is a conjecture, based on knowledge obtained while seeking answers to the question. The hypothesis might be very specific, or it might be broad. Scientists then test hypotheses by conducting experiments or studies.
Detailed explanation-2: -A hypothesis is usually a prediction based on some observation or evidence. Hypotheses must be testable, and once tested, they can be supported by evidence. If a statement is made that cannot be tested and disproved, then it is not a hypothesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -A hypothesis is a possible explanation for a set of observations or an answer to a scientific question. A hypothesis must be testable and measurable.
