Answer 2

Answer:

hypothesis

Explanation:

In scientific research works, hypothesis is usually a statement about the relationship between two or more variables in the study. A hypothesis is not only an educated prediction that can be tested during research, it must be specific, and a testable prediction that would likely explain what the researcher would expect to happen in certain occasions during the course of the research study.

The first variable is known as the independent variable while the outcome is known as dependent variable.
