A hypothesis is the first postulation of an idea, usually based on an observation and the indication of a relationship. It usually includes a statement of the kind "x is proportional to the square of y".
A theory is the final stage in the proof of an idea, where enough evidence has been collected to verify the exact relationship ("x is equal to 3y + 7") and there is no evidence refuting the postulation or contradicting the relationship; put another way, all data fits the relationship for all x and y.
A theory is usually considered a result from a hypothesis, otherwise there is a fine distinction between them.
A theory is just a hypothesis that has been tested by experiments and observations.
A scientist will use observations to form a hypothesis. It is usually a question or statement which can be tested. A theory is a scientifically sound hypothesis which has had strong support through numerous experiments and data.
A hypothesis requires confirmation to advance to the status of theory.
A hypothesis is a educated guess about how you think something is going to turn out. A theory is a way of how something might happen that has not been proven. A guess is like a hypothesis but not educated.
A hypothesis is an 'educated guess' based on observation and common sense. A theory is a commonly-accepted hypothesis that has held under the pressure of testing by many different scientists.
Both a hypothesis and a theory offer an explanation of some observed phenomenon. The difference is that a hypothesis must have confirmation to become a theory.
a theory is produced after running an experiment and hypothesis is an educated guess before experimenting
Hypothesis is a guess a theory is an answer
A hypothesis requires confirmation to advance to the status of theory.
A scientific theory is more elaborated than a simple hypothesis and generally is validated by experiments.
a hypothesis can also be called an educated GUESS. while a theory can be considered as a group of guesses with particular proper research
A hypothesis is a suggestion of a way to explain something. If the hypothesis is tested and confirmed, it can advance to the status of theory. The conclusion of testing a hypothesis will be either that the hypothesis is confirmed, or it is not confirmed.

A hypothesis is an 'educated guess' based on observation and common sense. A theory is a commonly-accepted hypothesis that has held under the pressure of testing by many different scientists.
The difference between a hypothesis and a conjecture is that a hypothesis is something investigated or accepted as highly probable in the light established facts and a conjecture is the formation or expression of an opinion or theory without sufficient evidence for proof.
Both a hypothesis and a theory offer an explanation of some observed phenomenon. The difference is that a hypothesis must have confirmation to become a theory.
Theory- A statement that is accepted as true -can't remember anymore from school-Hypothesis- "If then" statementex: If he misses the ball, then it's a strike.
a theory is produced after running an experiment and hypothesis is an educated guess before experimenting
Its generally accepted that there is. Hypothesis being an educated guess to be proven through experimentation and theory is a generally accepted idea that has been tested and not discredited but may be later on.
