Is a hypothesis a proven statement?
Hypotheses can never be totally proven because only portions of populations are used to test them. There are many variables making it likely that results will not always be the same. However, tests with positive outcomes can strongly infer the likelihood that their hypotheses are correct.
What does it mean for scientist to reject a hypothesis?
That he either found it to be incorrect or heard from a majority of other scientists working in the same field of study that the hypothesis isn't true. Though it's almost always the first one I said.
What is meant by saying a hypothesis must be testable?
It must be possible to observe whether the hypothesis is true.
Is the statement 'When a hypothesis is tested and shown to be incorrect the experiment is a failure' true or false?
False, your hypothesis has fallacies.
In what cases one can state the null hypotheses true?
There is no truth in science. Truth is only meaningful in math, philosophy, religion and logic. A hypothesis can never be true. You either accept or reject a hypothesis. You accept the null hypothesis if you fail to reject it.
Is a scientific hypothesis set in stone?
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.

Hypothesis are theories which are yet to be proven. They are proven when they are proved to be true as in experiments.
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.

well it all depends on what your hypotthesis is but some can be proven true ,or some can be proven false. But it all depends on what you are doing
Why can a hypothesis never be proven that it is true?
Only some hypothesizes have been proven not to be true. The reason that is that a hypothesis is the same thing as a prediction. Just as you could predict that, for example, the weather was going to be cloudy today, but it turned out sunny, a scientist could predict, or hypothesize, that in a certain experiment, for example, there would be a chemical reaction, but there wasn't.
