An experiment is constructed to prove a hypothesis. If you do A+B-C; then you should always arrive at D as a result. Do a thousand test experiments without variation and the result should always be D. When you publish your results, other scientists around the world who follow the steps in the experiment you have outlined will also always arrive at the same result. These replications of the experiment by your peers will prove the validity of your hypothesis.
"refute" means to prove to be false or erroneous. Therefore you should abandon your hypothesis because it is wrong.
It is impossible to prove a hypothesis. It can only be disproved.
Generally, creating a hypothesis is a no-win situation. The hypothesis you devise must be provable false. Your data will either prove your hypothesis false or it will fail to prove the hypothesis false. You can never prove a proper hypothesis true. Science does not prove truth, it simply discards the false.
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.

To prove the hypothesis. To disprove the hypothesis.
A hypothesis is a prediciton you make before you carry out and investigation. The investigation should prove your hypothesis right or wrong.
An experiment can prove or disprove a hypothesis.

A hypothesis can never be proven true because there is always a possibility that it can be disproved. No matter how many times something happens, and how sure you think you are that it will happen again, there are always other possibilities that have not been explored.
because Hypothesis itself is an assumption and we always use the term hypothesis only for assuming a perfect answer. so,we use mostly three forms,directional,non-directional and null hypothesis. it is a very simple and straightforward way to prove or make correct our hypothesis.

No. Not being able to prove something is NOT the same as it being true.
