Hey there! I'd be happy to help you out with this question. The plural of hypothesis is hypotheses. Just like with other words that end in -is, such as analysis or basis, the plural form involves changing the -is to -es. So, if we're talking about more than one hypothesis, we would say hypotheses.
To help you remember this, you can think of it like this: a hypothesis is a possible explanation for something, right? Well, if you have more than one possible explanation, then you have multiple hypotheses. See how the "es" at the end of "hypotheses" kinda looks like it's representing several different things? That's because it is!
I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with.
