EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypotheses must be testable, and once tested, they can be supported by evidence. If a statement is made that cannot be tested and disproved, then it is not a hypothesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -In science, a hypothesis is an educated guess that can be tested with observations and falsified if it really is false. You cannot prove conclusively that most hypotheses are true because it’s generally impossible to examine all possible cases for exceptions that would disprove them.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -If the hypotheses are incorrect, your conclusion will also be incorrect. The two hypotheses are named the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis.
