Question

what is hypothesis in maths ....

Answer 1

In mathematics, a hypothesis is an unproven statement which is supported by all the available data and by many weaker results.

Answer 2

A statement that might be true, which can then be tested.

Example: Sam has a hypothesis that "large dogs are better at catching tennis balls than small dogs". We can test that hypothesis by having hundreds of different sized dogs try to catch tennis balls.


Sometimes the hypothesis won't be tested, it is simply a good explanation (which could be wrong).
