Hypothesis’ relation to Road Map

From the word road – which means a process or course of action that leads to a certain
result; and map – a picture or chart that shows the different parts of something. Road map is a
plan or a strategy intended to achieve a particular goal. When the problem is very complex, a
roadmap can break the problem down into significant sub-problems, helping with research
planning. Why is it important? Think of it as a roadmap where you are travelling alone. Although
the directions sometimes can be change but the destination remains the same. You may be unsure
of the directions in the beginning but if you are aware that your destination and methodology is a
good guide and has been proven to help you connect the directions from one point to another
until you reach the destination. It’s very important not to get lost in the journey, which I’m sure it
would happen without this roadmap.

Hypothesis is an uncertain statement about the relationship between two or more

variables. It is also accurate or specific, testable prediction about what you expect to happen in
your study. During a study, researchers come across many factors but confined itself to the
selection of required facts through formulation of hypothesis. This part of research helps us in
selecting relevant facts regarding to the problematic situation. Hypothesis portray as a guide
master in research. It gives new and fresher direction and knowledge to a researcher. It makes a
study to the point and destination, research without hypothesis is like a sailor in the sea
without compass.

How is a hypothesis related to a road map? Road map will carry you and your audience
through the various developmental blocks or units of materials that make up your research paper.
In addition to a study or main point of emphasis, we need bridges to join the blocks, and we need
signposts to direct the reader along the road. As well as hypothesis, who took big part in the road
map since the roadmap starts on hypothesis test. The roadmap consists four parts which are
building models, discrete data, continuous data – non-normal and continuous data – normal.
They are related since the purpose of roadmap is to test the hypothesis.
Hypothesis testing is the key by giving us a measure of how confident we can be in our
decision. It is necessary to determine when there is a significant difference between two sample
populations. And determine whether there is a significant difference between a sample
population and a target value. By using roadmap, you’ll understand the role that hypothesis
testing plays in an improvement project.
