| Hypothsis, Objective, Theory | to Top |
All the hypothesis is a prediction of a theory. A hypothesis or prediction is developed from a more general theory and an experiment is designed to test the hypothesis. Basically the research or experiment tests this hypothesis. If the information and data from the experiment does not support the hypothesis, then the theory from which it was derived is considered to be weakened. It does not prove or disprove the theory; however, basically it will assist in reformulating the hypothesis.
