2. WHAT IS HYPOTHESIS?
A hypothesis is an assumption, an
idea that is proposed for the sake of
argument so that it can be tested to
see if it might be true. In the scientific
method, the hypothesis is constructed
before any applicable research has
been done, apart from a basic
background review.

3. WHAT IS RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS?
A research hypothesis is a
statement of expectation or
prediction that will be tested
by research. Before
formulating your research
hypothesis, read about the
topic of interest to you.

4. How to write a hypothesis in 6 steps
Ask a question.
Conduct preliminary research.
Formulate your hypothesis.
Refine your hypothesis.
Phrase your hypothesis in 3 ways.
Write a null hypothesis.

5. How to Formulate an Effective Research
Hypothesis.
 State the problem that you are trying to
solve.
 Try to write the hypothesis as an if-then
statement.
 Define the variables.
 Scrutinize the hypothesis
 Directional Hypothesis.
 Null Hypothesis.

6. Different types of research hypothesis
are used in scientific research:
• Null hypothesis
• Alternative Hypothesis.
• Directional Hypothesis.
• Non-Directional Hypothesis.
• Simple Hypothesis.
• Complex Hypothesis.
• Associative Hypothesis.
• Casual Hypothesis.

7. Variable, it's Meaning and
kinds
A variable is any factor, trait, or
condition that can exist in differing
amounts or types. An experiment
usually has three kinds of variables:
independent, dependent, and
controlled. The independent variable is
the one that is changed by the scientist.

8. INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
An independent variable is the variable
you manipulate, control, or vary in an
experimental study to explore its effects.
It's called “independent” because it's not
influenced by any other variables in the
study. Independent variables are also
called: Explanatory variables (they
explain an event or outcome)

9. DEPENDENT VARIABLE
A dependent variable is what changes
as a result of the independent
variable manipulation in experiments.
It's what you're interested in
measuring, and it “depends” on your
independent variable. In statistics,
dependent variables are also called:
Response variables (they respond to a
change in another variable)

10. CONTROLLED VARIABLE
A control variable is any
variable that's held constant
in a research study. It's not
a variable of interest in the
study, but it's controlled
because it could influence
the outcomes.
