a hypothesis is given to explain a phenomena which has not been explained till then. it can be supported by an experiment if that experiment gets the other results regarding that particular phenomena in agreement with that being predicted by the hypothesis and if any contradictory fact arises or the result doesnt match the prediction then the hypothesis is again thought upon or totally discarded at times
The purposes of testing a hypothesis is to test it. Pass or fail, the experiment is a "success" if it does that - tests the hyposthesis. If the results don't support the hypothesis, then that is valuable data that helps you either abandon or refine the hypothesis.
That depends on the result of the experiment. The experiment is a way to test a hypothesis, and it's completely fine if the experiment disproves the hypothesis. Ideally, though, the experiment will support the hypothesis.
when results from the experiments repeatedly fail to support the hypothesis.

An experiment might not support a hypothesis even if the hypothesis is correct because if the conclusion
a scientist can do another experiment or change their hypothesis.

When the evidence in a scientific experiment does not support the hypothesis the scientist:Confirm through repeated experimentation that the evidence is validReject the hypothesisDevelop another hypothesis that is consistent with the valid evidence
You want to have a hypothesis to test. A hypothesis is kind of like a reasoned guess what you expect to happen. The results of your experiment will either support your hypothesis or it wont.
