A hypothesis is a claim the researcher makes to stablish a relationship between variables and predict the results of the experiment or explain what thinks is going on. Note: Since I did not find the options, I provide examples below.

<h3>What is a hypothesis?</h3>

When following the scientific methodology, researchers must formulate a hypothesis.

A hypothesis is a scientific conjecture, not verified, that requires corroboration. It is a possibility, not a fact. It is a claim of how it works a relationship between two or more variables.

The researcher hypothesizes to predict what is going on or what is expected to occur.

A hypothesis

• must be clear and comprehensive.

• must express the direct relationship between the involved variables.

• must be objective.

• must be testeable and falsifiable

There are different kinds of hypotheses: descriptive, correlative, differentiative, or causative

Question: "Are black-tailed prairie dogs dying to sylvatic plague and causing the population to decline?"

The variables involved in this question are,

  • Independent variable: sylvatic plague presence
  • Dependent variable:  black-tailed prairie dogs survival or death.

                                            population size change

<u>Note</u>: Since I did not find the complete question, I will propose a few potential Hypothesis as examples for you to understand the structure.

Hypothesis:

If black-tailed prairie dogs are exposed to <u>sylvatic plague</u>, then their <u>mortality rate</u> will increase, declining their population size.

If black-tailed prairie dogs are exposed to <u>sylvatic plague</u>, then their <u>survival rate</u> will decrease, declining their population size.

If black-tailed prairie dogs are exposed to <u>sylvatic plague</u>, then their <u>population size</u> will decline.

Another alternative is to think that variables are,

  • Independent variable: black-tailed prairie dogs dying to sylvatic plague or to other causes
  • Dependent variable: Population size change

Hypothesis:

If black-tailed <u>prairie dogs are dying to sylvatic plague</u>, then their <u>population size </u>will decline.

Notice that in every case, you can mention first the independent variable and the effect it provokes on the dependent variable.
