Hypothesis
His derived from a Greek word "hypotithenai" which means "to put under" or to suppose".
Hypothesis is the process of taking and using a sample statistics to make an inference for a
population parameter.
According to Prof. Morris Hamburg. "A hypothesis in statistics is simply a quantitative Statement
about a population".
According to Palmer O Johnson, "A hypothesis is islands in the uncharted seas of thought to be used
as bases for consolidation and recuperation as we advance into the unknown"
Hypothesis generally occurs when we perform inductive reasoning. In inductive reasoning,
researcher takes a series of observations to perform a theory. So hypothesis is the first step of any
research process. It is very important for any research and formulated in various ways. Its basic
function is the prediction of the final result of the investigation.
Importance of Hypothesis

 Importance of hypothesis can be described in following ways:

1) Finding Answers: Hypothesis supports the researcher to


find an answer to a problem. It is expressed in declarative form. The
most important thing is that it provides a guideline to the problem.
2) States Purpose of Researcher: A hypothesis states
what researchers are looking for. When facts are assembled,
ordered, and seen in a relationship they constitute a theory. The
theory is not speculation but is Suit upon fact.Now the various
facts in a theory may be logically analysed and relationships other
than those stated in the theory can be deduced. At this point there
is no knowledge as to whether such deductions are correct. The
formulation of the deduction however constitutes a hypothesis; if
verified it becomes part of a future theoretical construction.
3) Forward Looking: A hypothesis looks forward. It is a
proposition which can be put to a test to determine its validity. It may
seem contrary to or in accord with common sense. It may prove to be
correct or incorrect. In any event however, it leads to an empirical
test.
4) States Specific Relationship: Hypothesis is to state a
specific relationship between phenomena in such a way that this
relationship can be empirically tested. The basic method of this
demonstration is to design the research so that logic will require the
acceptance or rejection of the hypothesis on the basis of resulting data.
5) Provides Direction: It provides a direction to the research
and prevents waste of time and effort of the researcher.
6) Helps in looking in Particular Aspect: It helps the
researcher to look into a particular aspect of the problem thereby
offering certain issues and facts.
7) Framework for Analysis: It acts as a
framework for analysis and interpretation of the data to draw
conclusions.
8) Suggests Areas of Importance: It suggests the
areas of importance which need more attention or more
collection of facts by the researcher.
9) Ensures Scientific Nature of Research: A
hypothesis ensures the entire research process remains scientific
and reliable; and following the principles of deduction.
