Which of the following is NOT an example of a sociological hypothesis? Question 1 options: a) The more study halls students are given during the school day, the worse they perform on their tests. b) The longer an inmate spends in prison, the more difficult it is for him to adapt to the outside world. c) The more CDs Jamila buys, the less money she has in her bank account.

c) The more CDs Jamila buys, the less money she has in her bank account.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is an assumption of relationship between two or more variables.

Sociological hypothesis is an assumption that one human behaviour will influence another.

Let's take each of the options.

a) The more study halls students are given during the school day, the worse they perform on their tests.

Implies that the action of giving more study hall caused a decline in performance in tests (behavioural).

b) The longer an inmate spends in prison, the more difficult it is for him to adapt to the outside world.

Implies that when an inmate stays longer in prison behavioural ability to adapt to the outside work declines (behavioural).

c) The more CDs Jamila buys, the less money she has in her bank account.

Does not involve assumptions about behaviour, just a financial fact that the more CDs Jamila buys her money will reduce.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
