PRESENTATION ON

HYPOTHESIS MEANING
& IMPORTANCE
 INTRODUCTION

Hypothesis is a tentative solution to a problem, it means

before finding the results based on the review of literature
we are going to formulate a hypothesis based on problem.
When we are defining a problem, for example: problem of
urbanization is more common in smaller cities compare to
bigger cite based on this hypothesis based on this
statement investigator can state the hypothesis
 WHAT IS HYPOTHESIS?
A hypothesis is a prediction, almost always a prediction
about the relationship between variables. A hypothesis is a
specific statement of prediction
A hypothesis is a statement of the researcher’s expectation
or prediction about relationship among study variables. The
researcher question identifies the study concepts and asks
how the concepts might be related a hypothesis is the
predicted answer
 WHY HYPOTHESIS IS IMPORTANT?
Because it helps us to
Replicate research
• Draw logical conclusion
• Relation between variables
• Provides a statement deduced from
theory
• Select facts
• Direction to research
 BASIC TYPES OF HYPOTHESIS
 Null Hypothesis vs. Alternative Hypothesis
Null Hypothesis (also called statistical hypothesis) states that
there is no relationship between two variables.
Example: We can take an example of ice cream. Child has
formulated null hypothesis to his father stating that eating ice
cream has no relation with running
temperature, i.e., null hypothesis. But father is trying to say
that eating ice cream has relation with running temperature,
i.e.,
alternative hypothesis.

In null hypothesis, researcher is trying to explain that relationship

is by chance, there is no statistically significance relation between
two variables and relationship is occurring just because of chance.
However, in alternative hypothesis, we are trying to prove that
there is a relation between eating ice cream and running
temperature. Finally, when we are accepting hypothesis then null

hypothesis would be rejected vice versa.

 Simple vs. Complex Hypothesis
Simple Hypothesis There is one independent variable and one dependent
variable. Example eating ice cream leads to running temperature that is kind of
simple hypothesis.
 Complex Hypothesis
In complex hypothesis, we have two or more independent and two or more
dependent variable. So, here hypothesis could be example eating ice cream in cold
weather leads to running temperature and absenteeism in school.
 Practical vs. Statistical Hypothesis
This is a statement that describes the practical question to be answered by the test.
It phrase as a question. Example: Eating ice cream leads to absenteeism in the
school so, that would be one kind of practical outcome because of eating ice cream
the child is not well, and child is not able to go to school. So, ultimate practical
outcome would be absenteeism to school that would be kind of practical
hypothesis.
 Positive, Negative or Null Hypothesis
In null hypothesis again, we have the example of child who
tries to emphasize on the father that there is no relation in
eating ice cream and running temperature that means there
is no relation between independent and dependent variable
positive hypothesis would explain that eating ice cream
leads to fever. This is a kind of positive hypothesis. In
negative hypothesis, eating ice cream does not lead to good
health, so it could be a kind of negative hypothesis.
 CONCLUSION
Hypothesis is prediction of what study will find it is an
empirical statement verified and based upon observation
or experience. Hypothesis is testable to be true/false
through the research study findings.
