An assumption is basically a hunch or feeling. This has no evidence, or not enough behind it, to be fully regarded as a valid theory. A hypothesis is like an assumption, however, this can be researched and will be during an experiment. The experiment will either prove the hypothesis right or wrong.

Hypothesis is a proposed explanation of any observable phenomenon but an assumption is anything that is taken for granted.
