A problem statement poses a question to be explored, while a hypothesis makes a prediction about what the answer may be based on certain conditions. A hypothesis is formulated before gathering data in an experiment, while a problem statement does not necessarily include a prediction. Examples provided contrast a hypothesis stating balls would bounce higher at lower temperatures with a problem statement asking what would happen to bounce heights of balls measured at different temperatures.

SOP & HYPOTHESIS
1. What is the difference between a hypothesis and problem statement?
A problem statement is more like a question, or what you hope to prove in your experiment. Your hypothesis is your best guess as to what the answer is going to be to your question. It's made before gathering data. http://www.ask.com/answers/3618001/what-is-4-difference-between-a-hypothesis-and- problem-statement 2. Difference between a hypothesis and prob.statement What is the difference between a hypothesis and problem statement ?
My experiment is dropping balls from a certain height in a certain temperature?...
Ans : A hypothesis makes a prediction based on certain conditions while the problem statement would not have a prediction.
Hypothesis: Balls would bounce higher at lower temperatures.
Problem statement: What would happen if bounce heights of a ball were measured at different temperatures? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110222181225AAvHSDc 3. http://www.slideshare.net/meghanasudhir/research-problem-hypothesis- conceptual-framework 4. https://www.ecybermission.com/help/helpdocs/Constructing%20a%20Hypothesis.pdf 5. http://www.indiana.edu/~educy520/sec5982/week_2/problem_statement.pdf 6. jcscience.slss.ie/.../Carrying%20Out%20An%20nvestigation%20-%20Te... 7. http://mrsgillumscience.com/science%20fair/proparts.html 8. http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~mid/edr610/class/variables/hypotheses/lesson3-2-1.html 9. http://samples.jbpub.com/9781449695071/81968_CH05_121_146.pdf 10. http://www.psych.uncc.edu/pagoolka/ch2.pdf
