Hypothesis in research means :
(i) Intellectual guess
(ii) Testable statement
(iii) Possible explanation to a phenomenon
(iv) Negative guess
Find the correct answer from the following :
Answer: A
A hypothesis means (i) (ii) (iii).
A research hypothesis is an intelligent or educated guess, a tentative and possible explanation of a phenomenon, stated so that it can be tested by collecting data.
A 'negative guess' is not a definition of a hypothesis; even a null hypothesis is a testable statement of no difference, not a negative guess. Every option including (iv) is therefore wrong.
