Sagot :

the correct answer would be the first one because a hypothesis is a THEORY, it is not a fact.

A hypothesis is a tentative explanation

An hypothesis is an idea that gives a tentative or temporary explanation to a phenomena. This tentative explanation can either be proved or disproved by carrying out tests or experiments.

There are two types of hypothesis

1. Null hypothesis ([tex]H_{0}[/tex] ) : this is known as the default hypothesis. It states that there is no relationship between the population parameters been studied. It is known as the true hypothesis.

2. Alternative hypothesis ([tex]H_{1}[/tex] ) : It states that there is a relationship between the population parameters been studied.

For example, if a scientist wants to test the hypothesis - do students who study for 10 hours pass all their tests?

The null hypothesis would be - students who study for 10 hours do not pass all their tests

The alternative hypothesis would be - students who study for 10 hours pass all their tests.
