it's an educated guess. you usually use it in science when you're saying what you expect the outcome of an experiment to be. in math it could be something different, but I doubt it.

Depends what your topic is about but right at the beginning you should have a hypothesis which is a guess to what the total end outcome of the topic will be

Example: topic is on chewing gum under tables

Hypothesis: I think they would be more chewing gum under the tables at the back of the room.

This is because blah blah blah.

That is your hypothesis then you would do work around that hypothesis to prove it right or wrong.

A hypothesis is an educated guess. It's mainly used in science. For example, there is the scientific method, which involves making a hypothesis. You make a guess based on what you have seen/previous experiences and then you test it to achieve a conclusion.

To be honest, you could have just typed it on google instead.
But yeah, who cares.
