Q:
Что значит What are the assumptions you have made about what it means to be Australian??
A:
"assumptions" are things that you have decided to think about something, but have not researched or checked to see if they are true. Many people make "assumptions" and think they are true (or assume they are true), but unless you have researched to check, you don't really know.
"what it means to be Australian" are assumptions about "how Australians SHOULD think or SHOULD be". Assumptions can be good, but they are often bad because they are often without research or fact. Australia is a multicultural country, so what it means to be Australian is different to everybody who is Australian (I am Australian). Assumptions on what it means to be Australian is usually talking about what Australian people, in general, think about themselves. It may be true, partly true, sometimes true or not very true.
If you have ideas on what you think Australian people are like, then you already have "assumptions on what it means to be Australian". Most Australian people do too, but everyone is different, so the assumptions are also different. Some people share the same values, but some don't. Some people think their assumptions should be shared by everyone, but that's not possible, because everyone is different.
This is difficult to explain. I hope this helps. :-)

Synonyms of "Assumption" and their differences
Q:
В чем разница между assumption и supposition ?
A:
I agree with kelpwich in that assumption is more common and less formal than supposition, but there is a little more of a difference.
An assumption is just something you believe or accept without proof or evidence (in English we might say "a wild-ass guess").
A supposition is a theory or opinion that you have based on some sort of evidence, and that can be tested or proven right or wrong.
"Why did you assume that I would pay for the meal? I never implied that I would do that?"
"After examining the crime scene, the police have a supposition about who is the murderer."
I just remembered another saying in English:
"When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me" because "assume" has the structure "ass", "u" and "me" within it. It is basically a warning not to assume things because you could be wrong so many times. This saying helps me remember that "assumption" means a guess without evidence.

Q:
В чем разница между assumption и presumption и supposition ?
A:
The roots of these words have various meanings: assume, presume, and suppose.
But they share a meaning something like “guess”.
‘Suppose’ is most common now. I think we would say ‘presume’ where someone has jumped to a conclusion (“You presume too much”) and ‘assume’ for a vague impression (“I had assumed wrongly ...”).

Q:
В чем разница между I changed assumptions in bonus calculation from the prior year. и I changed assumptions in bonus calculation from the last year. ?
A:
I think "from the previous year" would be best.
Using "the" with "last year" sounds a bit awkward, so I recommend just saying "from last year"
There does not seem to be a difference between "the prior year" and "last year"

Translations of "Assumption"
Q:
Как сказать на Английском (американский вариант)? " it's an assumption that you have 1 billion."" it's a hypothesis that you have 1 billion." what's the difference?
A:
you are correct, assumption is also correct
The authors reject the hypothesis about unemployment contributing to crime.
-Here, someone made a hypothesis about unemployment. (and the person with the hypothesis might still be trying to prove this)
*One hypothesis is that the victim fell asleep while driving.
- you can say, whoever made this hypothesis is still trying to discover what happened to the driver. Is he testing for medicine or drugs in his body? Are they still looking inside the car for sleeping pills? etc etc
but its just sometimes people use hypothesis when assumption is better- I would say the dictionary is wrong, and that you are correct. However, whoever wrote these examples can easily defend his sentence by saying, “ how do you know he is not still investigation?”
You made an assumption that they are not doing further investigation.😂
