Hypothesis is a prediction or your guess of the outcome of your experiment.
It's characteristic can be
Closest to observable things
A hypothesis must have close contact with observable things. It does not believe on air castles but it is based on observation. Those things and objects which we cannot observe, for that hypothesis cannot be formulated. The verification of a hypothesis is based on observable things.
Simplicity
A hypothesis should be so dabble to every layman, P.V young says, “A hypothesis wo0uld be simple, if a researcher has more in sight towards the problem”. W-ocean stated that, “A hypothesis should be as sharp as a razor's blade”. So, a good hypothesis must be simple and have no complexity.
Clarity
A hypothesis must be conceptually clear. It should be clear from ambiguous information. The terminology used in it must be clear and acceptable to everyone.
Testability
A good hypothesis should be tested empirically. It should be stated and formulated after verification and deep observation. Thus testability is the primary feature of a good hypothesis.
Relevant to Problem
If a hypothesis is relevant to a particular problem, it would be considered as good one. A hypothesis is guidance for the identification and solution of the problem, so it must be accordance to the problem.
