What do scientist do when experiments show their hypothesis is incorrect?

If an experiment does not confirm his hypothesis, the scientist should report this honestly. Even if the results confirmed the hypothesis, further testing should be done by him or others to gather more data.

What evidence do you have to show that your hypothesis was correct or incorrect?
You have to present the facts backing it up. Any experiments or statistics have to be able to be replicated by someone else in the same conditions for it to be true.
How many experiments does it take to show that a hypothesis is false?
one
What do scientists do when experiments show their hypotheses to be incorrect?
Hopefully the publish their negative results.
why might scientists conduct an experiment in a lab, and then repeat the experiment in the field?
To verify whether or not laboratory conditions are necessary to recreate the results. If the same experiment produces the same results in different environments, then the scientist knows that the results are sound. However, if the results are different in different places, then it may be an environmental factor of the laboratory that is affecting the outcome. Repeating the experiment in different environments allows scientists to either confirm or rule out this possibility.
What is 2 types of hypothesis?
A hypothesis can be framed in either a positive or negative manner. The results will show that this WILL occur. The results will show that this WILL NOT occur.

How do scientists learn about things using hypothesis?
The Hypothesis is a Question of " What If?". Experiments are performed to show what actually happens.

Which scientist carried out experiments with light rays?
Newton did experiments using prisms to show that white light contained all colours of light.
What scientist conducted tests on extracts made of bacteria to show that genetic material in bacteria is DNA?
It is not Hershey and Chase !! It is Oswald Avery that conducted these experiments!
What scientist do that is the basis for the investigation?
scientists run experiments. That is the basis of all a scientist does.

Can you show me a experiment?

What is the name of the Cartoon where a boy has a math equation in his head that allows him to predict the future in this show an evil scientist experiments on a teen giving him a super ability it's?
The future nergasm!
Can a hypothesis that has been unacceptable be of any value to scientist?
Yes. But usually a hypothesis (if, then, because statement) is changed overtime to establish a conclusion on the investigation. The point of the collection of the data is to show whether or not the hypothesis was supported, and if not needs to be corrected/modified. Certain parts may still be helpful/kept but in most cases it is changed
How does the theory of evolution by natural selection demonstrate the scientific process?
Observation of the process in nature. Google ring species. The erection of testable hypothesis. The experimental testing of these hypothesis. Google Lenski and the E. Coli experiment. Repeatability and analogous experiments. Google artificial selection. Falsifiability. A way to show the hypothesis can be rejected. Fossil bunnies in the pre-Cambrian.
