it is tetable (supported with scientific method)

A

HYPOTHESIS

19
Q

propose a relationship between two or more variable

A

HYPOTHESIS

20
Q

something the researchers observes and measure

A

DEPENDENT VARIABLE

21
Q

something the researchers changes or control

A

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

22
Q

How to develop Hypothesis

A
  1. Ask a Question
  2. Do Some Preliminary Research
  3. Formulate your Hypothesis
  4. Refine your Hypothesis
  5. Phrase your Hypothesis in 3 Ways
  6. Write a Null Hypothesis
23
Q

this step of hypothesis should be focused and specific

A

Step 1: Ask a Question

24
Q

Considered as an intelligent guess or prediction, that gives
directional to the researcher to answer the research question.

A

HYPOTHESIS

25
Q

are defined as the formal statement
of the tentative or expected prediction or explanation of the
relationship between two or more variables in a specified
population.

A

HYPOTHESIS

26
Q

Contributions of Hypothesis

A

It provides clarity to the research problem and
research objectives.

It describes, explains, or predicts the expected results
or outcome of the research.

It may lead to the formulation of another hypothesis.

27
Q

Types of Hypothesis

A

Simple

Complex

Empirical

Null

Alternative

28
Q

is one in which there exists a relationship
between two variables; one is called the independent variable or
cause or the other is the dependent variable or effect.

A

SIMPLE HYPOTHESIS

29
Q

is one in which a relationship among
variables also exists.

A

COMPLEX HYPOTHESIS

30
Q

In this type, dependent and independent variables are more than
two.

A

COMPLEX HYPOTHESIS

31
Q

means it is based on evidence.

A

EMPIRICAL

32
Q

refers to the use of a
working hypothesis that can be tested using observation and
experiment.

A

EMPIRICAL

33
Q

is produced by experiment and observation.

A

EMPIRICAL DATA

34
Q

It is the simplest form of hypothesis.

A

EMPIRICAL HYPOTHESIS

35
Q

In simple cases, investigation and research are adequately
implemented by resuming a question.

A

EMPIRICAL HYPOTHESIS

36
Q

denotes that there is no
significant difference between specified
populations, any observed difference being
due to sampling or experimental error.

A

NULL HYPOTHESIS

37
Q

It is denoted by Ho.

A

NULL HYPOTHESIS

38
Q

denoted by H1 or Ha

A

ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS

39
Q

Claims that there is an effect

A

ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS

40
Q

a hypothesis that sample observations are influence by some non-random cause

A

ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS

41
Q

Characteristics of Hypothesis

A

A Hypothesis:
- must be capable of verification
- must be related to the existing body of knowledge
- needs to be precise, simple and specific
