Faith is a firm belief without logical proof. Thus it is not a 'given'. It is not a theory in the scientific sense, since scientific theories require demonstrable evidence. It is reasonable to say that religious faith is a hypothesis.

Is a scientific hypothesis an example of a fact or a faith?
No, an hypothesis is a tentative conjecture explaining an observation, phenomenon or scientific problem that can be tested by further observation, investigation and/or experimentation. As a scientific term of art, see the attached quotation. Compare to theory, and quotation given there. No a hypothesis must be tested, proven to be true No. A hypothesis is a best guess based on available information and observation.
What are synonyms of hypothesis?
Another word for 'hypothesis' is an educated guess, which is essentially what a hypothesis is. It is a guess taked from what you assume will happen, given your current knowlege.
What is an inverse statement?
Given a conditional statement of the form:If "hypothesis" then "conclusion",the inverse is:If "not hypothesis" then "not conclusion".
What causes hypothesis to be rejected?
We have two types of hypothesis i.e., Null Hypothesis and Alternative Hypothesis. we take null hypothesis as the same statement given in the problem. Alternative hypothesis is the statement that is complementary to null hypothesis. When our calculated value is less than the tabulated value, we accept null hypothesis otherwise we reject null hypothesis.
In a hypothesis testing the alternative hypothesis is assumed?
No. The null hypothesis is assumed to be correct unless there is sufficient evidence from the sample and the given criteria (significance level) to reject it.
Why is a hypothesis a testable statement?
It is because a hypothesis is only a guess.Example:If a plant is not given enough water, then it will die.A hypothesis needs an if (condition) and a then(prediction).Then... you need to make an experiment.

What is the meaning of null hypthesis being rejected?
You may want to prove that a given statistic of a population has a given value. This is the null hypothesis. For this you take a sample from the population and measure the statistic of the sample. If the result has a small probability of being (say p = .025) if the null hypothesis is correct, then the null hypothesis is rejected (for p = .025) in favor of an alternative hypothesis. This can be simply that the null hypothesis is incorrect.
How do the problem and the hypothesis relate to each other?
A hypothesis is an educated guess on what a person may believe to happen based on logic and information given.
Why is cell theory a theory and not a hypothesis?
Cell theory is a theory given by R. Virchow in 1855 .It is a theory not a hypothesis because it has been proved thus it can not be considered hypothetical , that's why is not called hypothesis.
How do you find the perimeter of a triangle given the hypothesis?
It really depends on what your hypothesis is! But I expect a hypotenuse could be more useful in this context. However, knowledge of the hypothesis, hypotenuse even, is not enough to enable you to find the perimeter.
