Answer:

prediction; hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Prediction implies a specified expectation of a specified social behavior aspect which can be checked by successive observation.

It is used for deductions from proven to unknown occurrences in a narratively static scheme and for forward-looking statements based on ongoing series of occurrences.

A hypothesis is a projection of what will be discovered in a study project's outcome and typically focuses on the connection between two distinct factors tested in the studies.

It is generally based from both conceptual expectations of how things work and scientific evidence that already exists.
