How does a scientist form a hypothesis?

Explanation: The hypothesis is a prediction, but it involves more than a guess. Most of the time, the hypothesis begins with a question which is then explored through background research. It is only at this point that researchers begin to develop a testable hypothesis.

(Unless you are creating an exploratory study, your hypothesis should always explain what you expect to happen)
