A statement according to which an observed random variable is subject to a given probability distribution. The probability distribution determined by the simple hypothesis is called the hypothesis distribution. E.g., if one observes a random variable $X$, then the statement "X is subject to the Poisson law with parameter 1" is a simple hypothesis. See also Composite hypothesis.
