∙ 11y agoA hypothesis is an attempt to explain a phenomenon, based on partial information. Developing a hypothesis is finding a method for testing it: identifying something which is more likely to happen if the hypothesis were true and not if it were not. The next part of developing it is to design an experiment which can be used to test these outcomes.
It is the hypothesis that is presumed true until statistical evidence in the form of a hypothesis test proves it is not true.
Rejecting a true null hypothesis.
If a hypothesis has been tested many times (using approved experimental methods), and each test has proven the hypothesis to be true, the hypothesis can be taken to be a fact, or truth.
When we've proven that the hypothesis is false !
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.
No, a "hypothesis" is a geuss. In an expirement, a scientist will come up with a hypothesis, and then see if it is true. Therefore, a hypothesis is NOT set in stone until proven.
It means that she or he has to accept that the existing hypothesis appears to be true.
Peer reviewing involves other scientists testing the data that one scientist has produced and finding it either true or false. If more than the original scientist proves the hypothesis, then the answer is considered more reliable.
They draw inferrences or conculution whether the theory is true or false. They validate or disapprove the hypothesis.

True. In an experiment, a scientist formulates a hypothesis, designs the experiment, collects data, and then analyzes the results to draw conclusions. The outcome of the experiment is not known beforehand, and it is the results of the experiment that will either support or refute the hypothesis.
Remember that a hypothesis is a 'good' guess about a question. If a scientist comes up with a hypothesis, she will test it and then see if the testing will say 'yes'. She will then do these many times and if the answer still is 'yes' she will have it published. Many others in the same field will then review that data and they will add to the information or they may not agree.
Yes, biologists often discover problems by observing the natural world. By closely observing the behaviors and characteristics of organisms in their natural habitats, biologists can identify issues such as declining populations, environmental changes, or new diseases. These observations guide their research and help in understanding and addressing various biological issues.
A hypothesis is a tentative explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation. Basically, it's an educated guess to a question. Testing a hypothesis is the only way to prove this statement correct or incorrect. A scientist conducts an experiement, using constants and variables, and draws conclusions against the hypothesis. This will prove it to be true or untrue.

A hypothesis is a statement.
