Understanding what a hypothesis is.
00:02
So a hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomena or a speculative statement about the relationship between two or more variables.
00:12
It's a statement that can be tested and either confirmed or disproven through research and experimentation.
00:18
Okay, so using this definition that i've just written, we need to evaluate each statement based on the definition.
00:24
Definition.
00:24
Okay, so first one, a researcher wants to investigate the relationship between age and type of car preference.
00:32
This statement suggests a relationship between two variables that can be tested through research, making it a hypothesis.
00:39
So i would agree with that.
00:40
Next one, a researcher wants to find out how many people are diagnosed with cancer each year.
00:45
This statement is focused on gathering statistical data about cancer diagnosis and and does not propose a relationship between variables or a speculative explanation that can be tested.
00:56
Therefore, it's not a hypothesis...
