Articulate the study hypothesis for a study where you are examining the relationship between the variables of school grades, measured as the numerical average of all grades in the last reporting period, and scores on a self-esteem scale where higher scores represent a higher level of self-esteem. Identify one basis whereby your statement adheres to the guides for stating the study hypothesis.
