Question

how should a hypothesis be written?
□ if (independent variable), then (dependent variable)
□ if (dependent variable), then (independent variable)

Explanation:

A hypothesis typically states a predicted relationship between an independent variable (the factor you manipulate) and a dependent variable (the factor you measure). The correct form is to start with the independent variable and then state the expected outcome on the dependent variable.

Answer:

If (Independent Variable), then (Dependent Variable)
