What is a Hypothesis?
A hypothesis isn't an educated guess.
It is a tentative explanation for an observation or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation
Can you test those?
Some say its an educated guess?
Think of some examples…

Qualitative Quantitative Data
Qualitative → Quality
•Deals with descriptions.•Data can be observed but not measured.•Colors, textures, smells, tastes, appearance, beauty, etc.
Quantitative → Quantity
•Deals with numbers.•Data which can be measured.•Length, height, area, volume, weight, speed, time, temperature, humidity, sound levels, cost, members, ages, etc.
