The hypothesis is an educated guess or a smart guess of what you think is going to happen on an experiment of some type.

Depends on whicj discipline you're asking about. One general definition is:
"a proposal intended to explain certain facts or observations" from http://onelook.com/?w=hypothesis&ls=a
In statistics, hypotheses can be true or false, the statistic test is used to determine the degree of statistical likelihood.
In math, a hypothesis is generally something that you want to prove, and sometimes, a hypothesis may appear to be true, is is never proved, or takes centuries of trying before it is proved.
In physics, a hypothesis is used to explain the relationships and the nature of physical observations, and the hypothesis allows the scientist to then make other observations and conclusions that either support or refute the hypothesis.
