A hypothesis is an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true or is a reasonable guess, an educated conjecture. It provides a tentative explanation for a phenomenon under investigation. It may direct your thinking to possible sources of information that will aid in resolving one or more subproblems and, as a result, may also help you resolve the principal research problem. An assumption is a condition that is taken for granted (given), without which the research project would be pointless.
