HYPOTHESIS
BY- VIJYATA
“
Hypothesis is a formal statement that represents the
expectedrelationship between an independent and
dependent variable.
It is an assumption about the relationship between two or
more variables and is predictive in nature
2
Components of Hypothesis
The variable
The population
The relationship between variables
3
Nature of hypothesis
● The researchhypothesis allows
○ to identifythekeyconceptsusedin research
○ to identifytheresearchobjectives
○ to identifytherelationshipbetweenvariables
● It can be tested i.e. capable of verification and measurable
4
Characteristics of a Hypothesis
● Shouldbe clear and precise.If the hypothesis is not clear and precise,the inferences
drawnonits basiscannot be takenas reliable.
● Shouldstaterelationshipbetweenvariables,if it happensto be a relational
hypothesis
● Must be capableof beingput to test. Quiteoften, the researchprogramfailowing
to itsincapabilityof beingsubject to testingforvalidity. Therefore,some prior
studymay be conductedby the researcher inorder to make a hypothesistestable.
● Shoulddescribeoneissueonly and can be framed in onedirectionor both
direction

-It provides clarity to the research problemand research objectives
-It describes, explains or predicts the expectedresultsor outcome of the
research.
-It indicates the type of research design.
- It directs the research study process.
- It identifies the populationof the research study that is to be investigatedor
examined.
- It facilitates datacollection, data analysis and datainterpretation
