Carpio - Hypothesis

The document discusses hypotheses in research and provides examples of alternative and null hypotheses. It defines a hypothesis as an educated guess supported by existing literature that provides a tentative answer to a research problem and guides the study. The document also explains how hypotheses must be testable and contribute to overall research progress.

PRACTICAL RESEARCH I
Research Hypothesis

I. Complete the statement below about citations using the pool of words
given. After, read the statement completely.

A hypothesis is a research-based educated 1. GUESS supported by existing


2. LITERATURE, providing a tentative 3. ANSWER to the research 4. PROBLEM. It
guides the study, defining logical relationships between 5. VARIABLES.
Formulation involves identifying research 6. QUESTIONS, conducting a literature
7. SEARCH, and crafting clear 8. STATEMENTS. Two types of hypotheses include the
9. ALTERNATIVE (indicating a relationship) and 10. NULL (suggesting no
association), shaping research design and analysis.

Guide Questions
1. Why is it important for a hypothesis to be based on existing literature?
- It is important to base our hypothesis on existing literature to strengthen the
validity of the educated guess. Literature carries a significant role in solidifying
the researchers’ hypothesis by providing statistical results based on
experiments. Therefore, by collecting an ample amount of literature, the
researchers' thoughts will broaden—generating more logical, well-founded
guesses and theories.
2. Why must a hypothesis be empirically testable?
- A hypothesis must be empirically testable so the researchers have the ability
to prove its validity or falsity—through experimentation. Testable hypotheses
enable researchers to gather scientific evidence that will be utilized to form
the scientific conclusions. Therefore, it allows advancement of knowledge in a
certain field that can be reviewed and replicated by the future researchers too.
3. How does the hypothesis contribute to the overall research progress?
- Hypothesis contributes to the overall research progress by providing a path
in which the researchers must go through. During the beginning of a
research study, the researchers formulate research questions which will be
the basis of their hypothesis. And based on my perception, us researchers
must always formulate a desirable, positive hypothesis to prove the
importance of the study. Hence, hypothesis serves as our path that motivates
us to conduct researching and experimenting to prove that our hypotheses
were right and accurate.
II. Identify the type of hypothesis exemplified by the given statements. Write NULL if
the statement pertains to the null hypothesis; otherwise, write ALTERNATIVE if it
pertains to the alternative hypothesis.

ALTERNATIVE 1. The higher the unemployment rate, the higher will be the poverty
and crime rate.

ALTERNATIVE 2. An increase of food intake with high carbohydrate content daily


leads to obesity.

ALTERNATIVE 3. There is a significant change in my sleeping pattern when I drink


milk before sleeping or not.

NULL 4. There is no significant change in my health, whether I exercise every day or


not.

NULL 5. There is no relationship between the use of social media and the attention
span of students in school.

ALTERNATIVE 6. Implementing a flexible working arrangement enhances the job


contentment of the employees.

NULL 7. Sex education for high school students does not affect the rates of teen
pregnancy.

ALTERNATIVE 8. People who value freedom and longevity are more likely to
experience happiness than those who do not value their freedom and longevity.

NULL 9. The number of lectures attended by the senior high school students does
not affect their final exam scores.

ALTERNATIVE 10. If you sleep at least 6 hours a day, you will get a higher score on
the test than if you get less sleep.
