Need help with a hypothesis……..?

The issue is Gasoline Prices and Driving Behavior.

Would a good hypothesis be

I think the rising gas prices will make people drive less and buy hybrids as well as carpool. Also the driving behavior will get worse because of new technology with texting and cellphone usage.

The two statements in your hypothesis are unrelated at best and contradictory at worst. Your first statement is adequate as an hypothesis. It has to do with consumption and nothing to do with safety. Your second statement has to do with safety and nothing to do with gas prices. So, of the two statements, the only one pertaining to price and behavior is the first.

You have two topics: (1) driving vs cost of gasoline, and (2) driving behavior due to cell phones.

Pick one or the other. Don’t try to mix them into the same hypothesis.

“Also the driving behavior will get worse because of new technology with texting and cellphone usage.” This is irrelevant to gaslone prices. I would omit that part.

The first sentence is good but the second sentence could be tweaked a little and adding “multitasking like ….”

hope that helps
