∙ 12y agoWell technically a hypothesis isn't actually meant to be wrong or right, it is what someone thinks or sees through their eyes, therefore if you see a hypothesis it is just an opinion which could actually be correct, meaning that actually it isn't always wrong

∙ 14y agoA scientific hypothesis is often a theoretical statement stated before performing an experiment. They hypothesize that something is the case, perform the experiment or test, evaluate the results and then come to a conclusion about the hypothesis.
Should the results be negative, the hypothesis is either thrown out entirely or discredited. Should the results be positive the hypothesis is supported by them and given more credit.

∙ 14y agoAbsolutely. A hypothesis is merely a scientist's best guess at why scientific laws exist. It may not be possible to know for sure if the hypothesis is true with current lab equipment. Proteins were originally believed to hold all the genetic data of cells. It wasn't until scientists were able to demonstrate the method in which a virus infects host cells that it was known DNA is the carrier of genetic information. Four different models of atoms have been disproven since 1850. The hypothesis is important in the construction of an experiemtn, but whether or not the hypothesis is proven correct in the results is not.

∙ 11y agoIf a hypothesis is not correct, then that is the information that you can find, that the hypothesis is not correct, provided that you have figured out a method of testing the hypothesis, of course. If you can't test it, you may never discover that it is incorrect.

∙ 14y agoYou do not make a hypothesis if there is nothing to test.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes there Is always a wrong guess until it is proven currectly by your teacher or whoever gave you an assinment that includes one.

True or false If your experiment does not support your hypothesis you should change your data to give support to the hypothesis?
False- The hypothesis is your prediction of what you expect to happen. If the data does not agree with your hypothesis you simply explain why your hypothesis did not come true and possibly investigate variable which would allow your hypothesis to come true.
What must be satisfied for a hypothesis to be useful?
It must be testable.
What is the difference between hypothesis and law?
A hypothesis is what someone suggests could be true, and then tests it to see whether or not it is true. A law is what has been proven to be true.
What characteristics must a hypothesis have to be useful in science?
capable of being proven false. testable

What does develop a hypothesis mean in science?
A 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.
In science when is a hypothesis useful?
If you do not know the answer to something, you can start by making a hypothesis.
A hypothesis is a statement of fact true or false?
A hypothesis is a statement.
How can finding out that a hypothsis is not correct be useful for a scientist?
Hypotheses are based on theories. If a hypothesis seems incorrect then a scientist knows that she has been mistaken about her understanding of the theory, and that's why she formed the wrong hypothesis to test. Or it might be that she has learned that there are new conditions under which the theory does not hold, and that the theory must be refined. Both of these are useful to scientists.
A hypothesis is useful only if it can be?
tested.
What makes hypothesis testable?
A hypothesis is testable when we can determine experientially whether it is likely to be false or more likely to be true. That means we must be able to distinguish between it being true or false observationally. Thus, equally important to finding observations that confirm the hypothesis, we must be able to specify what it is we expect to see in the case that the hypothesis is false: the hypothesis must be falsifiable in order to be testable.It must be able to be proved right or wrong.
In science a hypothesis is useful only if?
It is only useful if you can test it.
If your experiment does not support your hypothesis you should change your data to give support to the hypothesis. true or false?
False- The hypothesis is your prediction of what you expect to happen. If the data does not agree with your hypothesis you simply explain why your hypothesis did not come true and possibly investigate variable which would allow your hypothesis to come true.
