Hypothesis is a tentative explanation or presumption of a theory. It may be established as it is presumed or may be not that depends upon the scientific analysis and research. It is of two types. One is null hypothesis and another one is alternative hypothesis.

In null hypothesis what researcher presumes that established toto by following scientific research method. In alternative hypothesis presumption proved false and a new thing come our before researcher which also needs some scientific tests like student 't' test, 'f' test etc.

A hypothesis is a a tentative explanation that can be tested and is falsifiable

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis is in a sense an unverified theory but it can be tricky to define it as such as sometimes some hypothesis are obvious but it is hard or impossible to prove them.

At that point they are taken as givens but it is rather easier to take that the hypothesis is a tentative explanation for something that is largely accepted in the scholarly community but has the scope to be proven to be falsifiable.
