Detailed explanation-1: -Formulating a New Hypothesis If the initial hypothesis is not supported, you can go back to the drawing board and hypothesize a new answer to the question and a new way to test it. If your hypothesis is supported, you might think of ways to refine your hypothesis and test those.
Detailed explanation-2: -If your hypothesis is not supported by the results of the experiment, you should re-analyze the data in order to figure out why your results disproved your hypothesis. You should not alter the observations, and/or experiment so that your results prove your hypothesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -When a hypothesis fails, the first thing you should do is examine the data closely. Then use your research and data to determine a possible reason why the hypothesis was incorrect. Once you come up with a reason your hypothesis may have failed, you can start thinking of ways to check your assumption.
Detailed explanation-4: -What happens if you test a hypothesis multiple times and the data doesn’t support your prediction? Change the data to support your prediction. Run the experiment again until you get the results you’re looking for.
