Hypothesis is .................... .
(i) Statement of the problem
(ii) Statement of guess about research result
(iii) Statement of conclusion of research
(iv) Statement to be tested
Answer: C
A hypothesis is (ii) and (iv): a statement of guess about the research result, and a statement to be tested.
A hypothesis is a tentative, testable proposition about the relationship between variables, an educated guess at the answer that the research then tests against data. It is accepted or rejected after testing.
It is not the statement of the problem, which defines what is to be studied and comes first. Nor is it the conclusion of the research, which comes only after the hypothesis has been tested. So options with (i) or (iii) are wrong.
