Define hypothesis. Then come up with three research questions and a hypothesis to go with each one (e.g., Does wearing sneakers sneakers Noun, pl US, Canad, Austral & NZ canvas shoes with rubber soles sneakers npl (US) → zapatos mpl de lona; zapatillas fpl make you run faster than wearing dress shoes A dress shoe (U.S. English) is a shoe used as a component of formal wear.
