The term hypothesis is used in science and statistics. I have included two links related to the these terms.
In statistics, the null and alternative hypothesis are mathematical statements used in statistical decision making. An example of a null hypothesis is the mean of the population from which a sample was obtained is equal to 10. The mean of the data is sufficiently different from 10 can be used to reject the null hypothesis.
As used in science, hypothesis is the initial idea suggested by observation or preliminary experimentation. See related links.
