Why my baggage needs to go thru X-ray to go out of airport in Panama City? Is it OK to create a third prong ground from a cold water pipe, for a 2-wire circuit? Is staying in the first job for a long time (>2 yrs) a bad thing?
Proposition is a statement about observable phenomena(concepts) that may be judged to be true or false.When a proposition is so formulated for empirical testing ,we call it a hypothesis..As a declarative statement about the relationship between two or more variables, a hypothesis is of tentative and conjectural nature.
A different meaning of the term hypothesis is used in formal logic, to denote the antecedent of a proposition; thus in the proposition If P, then Q , P denotes the hypothesis (or antecedent); Q can be called a consequent. P is the assumption in a (possibly counterfactual) What If question. The adjective hypothetical, meaning having the nature of a hypothesis, or being assumed to exist as an immediate consequence of a hypothesis, can refer to any of these meanings of the term hypothesis.
