DEVELOPING HYPOTHESIS AND RESEARCH QUESTIONS

“A hypothesis is a conjectural statement of the relation between two or more variables”. (Kerlinger, 1956) “Hypothesis is a formal statement that presents the expected relationship between an independent and dependent variable.”(Creswell, 1994) “A research question is essentially a hypothesis asked in the form of a question.”

Hypothesis testing focuses on the process of reasoning from the results of a limited sample to make generalizations about an entire population. It allows us, for example, to determine whether a pattern of points could have arisen by chance based on the information from a sample. Hypothesis testing is the basis

Tests of Hypotheses Using Statistics - Williams College

The logic is to assume the null hypothesis is true, and then perform a study on the parameter in question. If the study yields results that would be unlikely if the null hypothesis were true (like results that would only occur with probability:01), then we can confldently say the null hypothesis is not true and accept the alternative hypothesis.
