What is the role of a hypothesis in a scientific investigation ?

a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

Its "role" is for you the student, to show what you knew and thought before your conclusion/results.

A hypothesis is an idea which could or could not be correct. The only way for a hypothesis to be prove correct is to be put under lots of testing.
