Once a hypothesis have been confirmed through numerous experimental tests, it can then become a theory. Theories are much more powerful and expansive in scope than hypotheses. Once a theory has been established, it is the role of scientist to try and disprove a theory rather than to try to reinforce its proof.

What do scientist do when their data does not support their hypothesis?
Discard or change the hypothesis.
What does it mean when a scientist fails to reject a hypothesis?
It means that the experiment is consistent with the hypothesis. It adds to the credibility of the hypothesis.
What should be done after data is collected for an experiment?
The scientist or student scientist should review the results. Conclusions should be drawn based on the results. Then, the hypothesis is reviewed to make sure the results confirm the hypothesis; if not, revise the hypothesis and rerun the experiment.
How can a scientist test a hypothesis if he or she cannot do a controlled experiment?
scientists test their hypothesis buy making observations or doing research
What does it mean if a scientist fails to rejects a hypothesis?
the hypothesis has not been proven wrong.
Why is A hypothesis important?
putting a certain hypothesis is important for the person making a certain experiment.For exampe,if s/he were a scientist,the hypothesis would help in knowing what experiments should be done(in another words,NO hypothesis-->NO experiments will be done).

Does a scientist consider a hypothesis to be a fact?
Scientist consider hypothesis to be an educated guess on what they are studying. If that scientist researches and experiments more, he will see if his hypothesis is true or false.

If I was the scientist you would test is as soon as possible then just skip the hypothesis step

What are the three steps scientist take to evaluate a scientist explanations?
1. Experiment 2.hypothesis 3. Checking hypothesis
Why is it important that a scientist results are evaluated by other scientist?
The first scientist may have made a mistake, or tailored the experiment to fit either a hypothesis or favorable results. The second scientist's results help to reinforce ar refute the first scientist's results.
What does it mean when a scientist rejects a hypothesis?
It means that he or she does not find the hypothesis to be plausible.
