An example of a hypothesis would for example be:

I predict that with manipulation y (my independent variable), I will achieve change x on my dependent variable z.

An example of this would be:

I predict that increased heat will lower the amount of ice found on Antarctica.

A non-hypothesis would be:

"God has created the universe" because one cannot test this directly, while the above statement can be tested directly.
