Spanish term or phrase: La hipotésis iría encaminada a ser cierta
Se trata de un estudio sobre la percepción que tienen los clientes sobre los productos de una banco (cuentas, acciones, hipotécas). En este contexto:

"Si entendemos las variables TRABAJARÍA y RECOMENDARÍA como variables de inercia, la hipótesis a contrastar iría encaminada a ser cierta"

De momento lo interpreto así:

"If we consider the variables I WOULD WORK and I WOULD RECOMMEND, as inertia variables, the hypothesis to contrast would tend to be proven true".

the hypothesis would tend to be confirmed


Explanation:
a "hypothesis" is something that is possible and when it is "confirmed" it ceases to be a hypothesis and becomes a fact

for "la hipótesis a contrastar" I would put "the hypothesis to be tested" as it fits the context better

neutral  imcven: I disagree. In Statistics you don't actually confirm a hypothesis, the best you can do is to reject its falseness with a certain degree of probability. My point is that you are never 100% sure a hypothesis is true. Hypotheses do NOT become facts. :)
