It's like this, let's say the everyday word is listed first and the scientific word is second. Theory = hypothesis. Fact = theory.

Simply put, a hypothesis means "an assumption." It is an uncertain explanation of an observation. Such kind of tentative explanation or an assumption is usually made at the early stages of the investigative process, guiding the investigator in his quest for searching for supporting data. The hypothesis is then declared as right or wrong depending upon the well-researched findings of the study.  

In science, a hypothesis is a statement explaining a possibility of natural phenomena. The hypothesis is then tested for its veracity by drawing conclusions. If the conclusion is declared false from the series of observations and experimentation, then the hypothesis is of no value. During the criminal trial, a hypothesis is a theory put forth by either the defence or the prosecutor in order to explain the facts of evidence.
