Hypothesis and its role in research method

Definition:
Hypothesis is a conjectural statement of the relationship between two or more variables.
Characteristics:
      i.         It is a tentative proposition.
     ii.         Its validity is unknown.
   iii.         A hypothesis should be capable of verification.
   iv.         A hypothesis should be clear, specific, & conceptually clear.
‹Role of Hypothesis in Research Method:
      i.         A hypothesis should always explain what you expect to happen.
     ii.         A hypothesis tells you what data to collect & what not to collect, thereby providing focus to the study.
   iii.         Hypothesis enables to select relevant & pertinent facts & makes our task easier.
   iv.         Hypothesis enables to pointing to inquiry.
     v.         Hypothesis enables to enabling to select pertinent facts.
   vi.         Hypothesis helps to draw specific conclusion.
  vii.         Hypothesis plays a significant role in facilitating advancement of knowledge beyond one’s value & opinions.
viii.         A hypothesis may enable you to add to the formulation of theory.
   ix.         It enables you to conclude specifically what is true or what is false.
