How to write a report hypothesis and what is the best way?

Question

in the field of social science

Answer 1

A hypothesis is an idea or belief about the probable outcome of an action or experiment. You write it the way you see it. For example: I (We) expect this to occur when we do this.

You're saying that you are going to do something along a certain line and expect to have certain results. If you're performing an experiment, you're trying to prove your idea, or hypothesis. The experiment will either prove or disprove it. If it is disproved, then you may be able to figure out why since the hypothesis was recorded in writing.

Does this help?

Answer 2

A hypothesis is a statement that you can attempt to disprove. For instance, dark chocolate is preferred over milk chocolate by chocolate afficianados. Now you have a statement from which to design a test of the hypothesis.

First, you have to define 'chocolate afficiandos'. Let's say, people who eat at least 2 pounds of chocolate a year are chocolate afficianados. Now you can survey people by asking them how much chocolate they eat and what kind do they prefer.

Definition of the afficiandos will be subject to debate as will the method used to survey people. However, you stated a hypothesis and used a reasonable method to disprove it.

If the survey does not disprove the hypothesis, you can assert that it is true within the constraints of your test environment.
