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.

If experiments support a hypothesis why is the hypothesis still not considered?
A better explanation might exist.
If a hypothesis is proven false something is wrong with the experiment. true false?
False.
A hypothesis can always be proven true?
At a certain point it needs to be testable or it's just wrong
When using a scientific method what is always assumed correct until proven wrong?
in the scientific method the hypothesis is always assumed correct until proven wrong by the experiment that is being performed
What does it mean if a scientist fails to rejects a hypothesis?
the hypothesis has not been proven wrong.

Can a hypothesis be proven correct?
In science terms, a hypothesis can only be proven "not wrong". The way it works is that scientists, including the one who stated the hypothesis, try their hardest to demonstrate that the given hypothesis is wrong. If they are successful, then the hypothesis is discarded. If, after many tries, no one can prove the hypothesis is wrong, then it might attain the glorious status of a Theory. As an example, look at the hypothesis of global warming. Almost everyone is running around trying to prove it correct. There are very few following the true scientific process of trying to prove it wrong.

What happens when your hypothesis is incorrect?
Then your just proven wrong thats all. A hypothesis is not meant to be exactly right. Its more of a chance thing. if its right then your right, if its wrong then its back to the drawing board
When using a scientific method what is always assumed correct until proven wrong?
in the scientific method the hypothesis is always assumed correct until proven wrong by the experiment that is being performed
How can finding out that a hypothesis is not correct be useful for scientists?
It's not that it's not correct, it was that the experiment proved it wrong. And it is helpful because it tells the scientist that their idea was incorrect do to speak and that the experiment proved it. You can still write a very good report if the hypothesis was proven wrong
What makes a hypothesis a testable?
It must be proven from right to wrong
