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

A hypothesis that has been verified by many scientists?

What makes a hypothesis become a theory?

A hypothesis is used to make predictions. Experiments are carried out to test these predictions. If the outcome of the experiment was not as predicted then the hypothesis is falsified. It is either rejected or modified. If the outcome of the experiment confirms the prediction then that provides some evidence that the hypothesis is true.Over time, after testing different predictions, there will be a significant amount of evidence in favour of the hypothesis, and all the main alternatives have been rejected. At that stage the hypothesis becomes a theory.


What if hypothesis is not supporter by the data has been collected and analyzed?

When a hypothesis is not supported by data, two possibilities exist. The hypothesis can either be rejected and a new one is formulated, or more data is required to retest the hypothesis.


Why was wegener's theory not accepted by all scientists?

Wegner's theory was not accept because he didn't have much evidence to support his theory with and scientists thought that there might have been a land bridge between the continents. Another reason to why his theory was rejected was that he was a foreigner, by that; the scientists didn't really take him seriously.


Is a hypothesis valuable when it has not been proven?

a hypothesis is simply a guess 2nd answer: A true hypothesis is not simply a guess - it is a well-researched and tested suggestion of a possible truth. An unproven hypothesis can be really bad. The hypothesis of global warming is an example of an unproven hypothesis because nearly no scientists are following the correct procedure of trying to prove it wrong. In the case of global warming, billions and billions and dollars are being spent trying to prove it correct. That is backwards.

Why is a hypothesis that is unsupported by observation rejected by scientists?

Simply put, because there is not enough evidence to support it. "Rejected by scientists" should not be taken to always mean "scientist believe it is impossible" - rather, consistent evidence that support the hypothesis has not been produced.

To reject null hypothesis, because there is a very low probability (below the significance level) that the observed values would have been observed if the hypothesis were true.
