Understand what a hypothesis is: A hypothesis is a testable statement or prediction that can be investigated through experiments or observations.
Identify the statements given in the problem: There are four statements provided, each related to coffee consumption and its effects.
Evaluate each statement to determine if it is a hypothesis: Look for a statement that makes a prediction or proposes a relationship that can be tested.
Analyze the statement 'If I drink coffee early in the morning, I will be able to sleep at night': This statement suggests a cause-and-effect relationship that can be tested, making it a hypothesis.
Conclude that the statement 'If I drink coffee early in the morning, I will be able to sleep at night' is the hypothesis because it is a testable prediction about the effect of drinking coffee at a specific time on sleep patterns.
