It has been taught far too long that "an educated guess" was know as a hypothesis. However, the true meaning of a hypothesis is simply a proposed solution to a problem that must be tested in order to validate and be considered reliable. An hypothesis must also be provable false. "There are no elves" is a bad hypothesis because it is impossible to prove the absence of something.
A hypothesis prediction is an educated guess about the outcome of an experiment or research study based on the hypothesis being tested. It helps researchers forecast what they expect to observe or measure if their hypothesis is accurate.
