A well-supported hypothesis is a theory that appears to have a lot of evidence behind it. This evidence helps to make it seem likely that the hypothesis is true, but it is still just a theory until it has been proven.

What effect does supporting evidence have on a hypothesis?

Supporting evidence strengthens a hypothesis by providing validation and credibility to the proposed explanation. It helps to demonstrate that the hypothesis is grounded in observable data, making it more likely to be accepted by the scientific community. Additionally, strong evidence can lead to further investigation and experimentation, potentially leading to a broader understanding of the subject at hand. Conversely, a lack of supporting evidence may weaken a hypothesis and prompt reevaluation or rejection.
