Actually, at least 11 hypotheses have been proposed.
T. Caro has observed more than 200 occasions in response to cheetahs: stotting gazelles have never been seen to be caught.
gazelles stott to proclaim to the cheetah that it has been detected and no longer has surprise in its favor.
Cheetahs often do give up after stotting.

The rewards of social livingFlock vigilance, dilution effects and selfish herds
Vigilance
Flock vigilance: 2 eyes are better than oneDilution effects: you cant eat us allSelfish herds: surround yourself with food

Vigilance behavior can be conditional on risk
House sparrows chirp (attracting) more when risk is lowIs this a selfish behavior?

Dilution effect: While living in a group may attract more predators the net individual risk is reduced
