*This is a informal assignment. No page requirement – just identify the required information.
Hypothesis:
An hypothesis is essentially a guess about how the independent variable(s) will impact the dependent variable(s). It’s basically your best guess on the answer to your research question before you have done your research. For example, I hypothesize that women receive lighter prison sentences when compared with men. Another example: I hypothesize that Black juveniles have more contact with the juvenile justice system than White juveniles.
