your report does not attempt to test a hypothesis

Explanation:

Hypothesis: In psychological research, the term hypothesis is described as a testable, specific, or clear predictive or propositional statement related to any possible outcome of given scientific research and is based on a population's property.

According to the researcher, for any study or research to be validated or good it should contain a hypothesis.

In the question above, the professor's problem with the given research's report is that the person conducting the test doesn't report his or her attempt to test a particular hypothesis.
