a certain way. Before conducting a study, researchers develop hypotheses, which are basically informed guesses about
what they expect to find after conducting the research. In a nutshell, the researchers state their guesses (hypotheses),
then collect and analyze data. The findings of the analysis either confirm the hypotheses (in which case the researchers
were right), or they fail to confirm the hypotheses (in which case the researchers may have been wrong, but it's also
possible that further investigation is needed). What were the two hypotheses that the researchers attempted to
answer. After conducting the study, did the results support the two hypotheses?
