What are two possible outcomes to prove an experiments hypothesis?

To prove the hypothesis. To disprove the hypothesis.


Is it possible to prove a hypothesis by conducting rigorously controlled experiments?

Not technically, you can disprove it. And you can narrow the probability of the null hypothesis but proof by experimentation alone is not possible.


What if your hypothesis is correct?

Your hypothesis is supported by the data. You cannot prove a hypothesis because somebody may do some other experiments and disprove it eventually. You can only disprove a hypothesis or indicate that it is supported by the data.


Did Spallanzani's experiment disprove the hypothesis that microorganisms could arise spontaneously from a vital force contained in the air?

No, it didn't disprove the hypothesis.


How is a hypothesis is tested?

conducting experiment


Why is the snorg hypothesis not scientific?

There is no experiment or possible evidence that could prove that invisible snorgs do not exist. So the Snorg Hypothesis is not scientific. On the other hand, the "Negative Snorg Hypothesis" (that they do not exist) is scientific. You can disprove it by catching one.


What can experiments prove?

Why is it important to develop a scientific hypothesis that is testable?

It is important to be able to test the hypothesis because testing your hypothesis is how you prove or disprove your theories. If it is disproved then you can change your hypothesis.


How did your experiment prove or disprove the hypothesis?

That depends on the result of the experiment. The experiment is a way to test a hypothesis, and it's completely fine if the experiment disproves the hypothesis. Ideally, though, the experiment will support the hypothesis.


Explain in detail the three possible outcomes that may result from this research?

The question is very poorly specified so this answer is simply a wild guess at what the questioner might want. Three possible outcomes of any research, designed to test some hypothesis, are: (a) evidence in support of the hypothesis; (b) evidence disproving the hypothesis; or (c) evidence that can neither prove (support) nor disprove the hypothesis.
