I believe that in this experiment, you are attempting to determine the relationship between the resistance you feel when you try to push on the subject's arm, and whether or not they are telling the truth. Therefore, perhaps your hypothesis can be something along the lines of "If a feel a lot of resistance on the subject's arm, then they are telling the truth. You can say the same thing except state that you believe that little resistance means they are telling the truth. That part is up to you, as it is based off of what you think will be true. In most middle school science classes, it is customary to state the hypothesis in the form of an "if then" statement.
