Make
sure that your problem is very
specific. If it's too general,
then it becomes too difficult
and time-consuming to prove
every aspect of your problem.
For example, if you asked "Does
cheap meat really contain
more grease?" instead of asking
"Does cheap hamburger meat
really contain more grease?",
you would have to test all kinds
of meat to answer your question
fully.

After choosing
your topic, you should then clearly rephrase
it in the form of a question (some
call this the "problem"). Taking
the previous example about hamburger meats,
after a little research, you're convinced
that the price of the hamburger meat affects
the level of greasiness. You then formulate
the question as: "Does cheap hamburger
meat really contain more grease compared
to expensive hamburger meat?"
Now, once you have
decided on your question, the next very
important step is to propose a possible
answer to the question. This process
is known as ""formulating the hypothesis".
The hypothesis should always show how two
different factors are related to one another.
For example, in the example above, we asked
whether the price of hamburger meat affects
the amount of grease. The two relating factors
are price and grease level.
The hypothesis for your question would therefore
be "Cheaper hamburger meat contains more
grease than higher priced hamburger meat."
