It is rare and difficult to prove a hypothesis true or false through experimentation. While it is typically easy to prove something completely false, proving it true is another story.
it is a educated guessANS2:You can answer the hypothesis by either proving it false or by failing to prove it false. One must never claim to have proven an hypothesis true. Truth does not exist in science. You can find truth in logic, mathematics, and religion.
No. Not being able to prove something is NOT the same as it being true.
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.
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.

1:They are based on observations. 2:They can be tested
No. Not being able to prove something is NOT the same as it being true.
A hypothesis is a statement.
So they know not to make the same mistake again

Some researchers say that a hypothesis test can have one of two outcomes: you accept the null hypothesis or you reject the null hypothesis. Many statisticians, however, take issue with the notion of "accepting the null hypothesis." Instead, they say: you reject the null hypothesis or you fail to reject the null hypothesis. Why the distinction between "acceptance" and "failure to reject?" Acceptance implies that the null hypothesis is true. Failure to reject implies that the data are not sufficiently persuasive for us to prefer the alternative hypothesis over the null hypothesis.
No. A hypothesis is an educated guess, based on observation. Usually, a hypothesis can be supported or refuted through experimentation or more observation. A hypothesis can be disproven, but not proven to be true.
