Yes it can be proven because remember a hypothesis is an educated guess so u can add evidence to and a theory is somewhere between a guess and an educated guess. So yes they both can

When does a set of hypotheses become a theory?
Hypotheses are statements which may or may not be true. If there is overwhelming support for such a set, it becomes a theory. In science a theory can be disproved but it can never be proven: you can only add to the weight of evidence in its support.Mathematics is somewhat different. Although Kurt Godel proved that any non-trivial axiomatic system must contain statements whose truth or falsehood cannot be proven from within the system, most statements can be proven to be true or false. A set of hypotheses becomes a theory if every statement in it can be shown to be true, starting from the system's axioms and using any theorems already proven to be true.
What does a hypothesis become after it is tested and proven?
A hypothesis, or group of hypotheses, that is accepted as consistently valid is a theory. Either a hypothesis or a theory can be ultimately disproven. One definition of a theory is an accepted hypothesis.
The following statements are true about hypotheses and theories except?
Hypotheses and theories are proven to be true.
What is a set of related hypotheses?
theory
Must a scientific theory be testable and capable of being proven false?
Yes. Scientific theories, hypotheses or more generally conjectures must be testable capable of being proved false.
Is a proven theory still a theory?
No it would be a theorem if it was proven.
What is a well tested explanation that unified a broad range of observations and hypotheses?
a theory
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 is the first step in a formation of a theory?
No. That is the SECOND STEP. In the Scientific Method, the first step is to ask a question or make an observation. The problem / question / observation is the subject of the investigation. Once the question exists, a theory (hypothesis, conjecture) can be made, which can be proven or disproven through experimentation.
What will a hypothesis become if its is supported by repeated experimentation?
A scientific theory
A scientific theory can change if?
It can change if it is proven wrong, or if a new theory is proven more likely to be true.
What famous theory was proven during the solar eclipse?
albert einstiens theory was proven. his theory was the suns light bending over the moon.
