Chapter 3


In this module we are going to do the hypothesis of our research, so we have to know what this term really means in order to get the right result of what we want to prove.
A hypothesis is a tentative, testable aswer to a scientific question, once a scientific has a scientific question, it is interested in, as  researchers, we have to find out what is already known on the topic. Then we use that information to form a tentative answer to the question. Sometimes people refer to the tentative answer as "an educated guess." Keep in mind, though, that the hypothesis also has to be tentable since the next step is to determine whether or not the hypothesis is right.


 The most commom form of hypothesis are:
Simple hypothesis
Complex hypothesis
Emperical hypothesis
Logical hypothesis 
Alternative hypothesis.

 Then to do the hypothesis we have to do the variables that they are getting of the hypothesis, but what is a variable? a variable is something that can change, such as "gender" and are typically the focus of a study.
