A hypothesis is a proposition assumed as a premise in an argument. Hypothetical as an adjective describes events that don't actually exist but might be consequences of the assumption.
Example: Suppose, as a hypothetical situation, the price of gas was $10 a gallon. How might people change their transportation habits?

I do not know what hypothetical means. (Sentence/statement)
Do you know what hypothetical means? (Question)
Only kidding - Is that a hypothetical question? This is a sentence and hypothetical describes the question so that makes it an adjective.
