Examples of Hypothesis Statement

Introduction:
A statement which can proposes a possible explanation to events is called as hypothesis It is an element of the conditional statement which comes after the word if. Hypothesis is a testable statement includes prediction. Hypothesis depends on past observations. Hypothesis is also used for finding the validity of an argument.

Examples of Hypothesis Statement:

The hypothesis statement has two types of variables. Two types are
  • Independent variable
  • Dependent variable.
Generally the hypothesis statement is in the form of “ If independent variable which is related to dependent variable, then it produces prediction”.
Ex:1"If the size of the body is related to weight then people with more weight are considered as fat".
First we can question "Does the weight affect the size of body?". Second it specifies that the weight may change the size of the body. Third is it in the form of if, then statement. Hence it is hypothesis statement.
Let us see the following examples.
Ex:2"If color of the people is related to temperature, then the increase of temperature will cause color changes in color of the people".
In the above statement,
First we can question "Does the weight affect the size of body?". Second it specifies that the weight may change the size of the body.Third is it in the form of if, then statement. Hence it is hypothesis statement.
