How do scientists decide whether or not to reject or accept a hypothesis?
if the hypothesis is proven to be correct or incorrect
What does it mean if a scientist can't reject a hypothesis?
It means that she or he has to accept that the existing hypothesis appears to be true.
What statements best describe scientists who contribute to the current body of scientific knowledge?
Scientists who contribute to the current body of scientific knowledge and literature come from all races. Working individually and in cooperative teams, scientists test various hypotheses using strict methods and retesting. These scientists are never content to accept the first apparent result, but religiously assess the methods used so they can prevent false results. They re-question, re-assess, re-test, and re-evaluate from all angles and do not accept common beliefs, assumptions, or myths without careful scientific experiments, testing, and proofs that support the hypothesis. Scientists, like genealogists, understand the power of a "negative result", that is, results that disprove or that do not support the hypothesis. Because they rigidly look for the smallest proof that disproves the working hypothesis, scientists are likely the only body of professionals who are willing to discard a working hypothesis based on scientific results even if it means trashing years of work, and creating a new hypothesis that takes into account all positive (supporting) and negative (disproving) results from their previous work.

When would scientists accept a theory?
probably when you can prove it
How do scientists decide whether or not to reject or accept a hypothesis?
if the hypothesis is proven to be correct or incorrect
What is test statistic?
This is used in statistic to know whether to accept or reject a null hypothesis or alternative hypothesis
Why do scientist accept the capture theory?
They generally don't. The Giant Impact Hypothesis is generally accepted amongst scientists.
What discovery led scientists to accept Wegeners continental drift hypothesis?
One day while scientists were exploring the sea floor, they discovered sea-floor spreading, thus proving Wegener's hypothesis to be correct.
Is a scientist hypothesis accepted if there is no way to prove that they hypothesis is wrong?
If you develop an experiment that truly demonstrates that the hypothesis is wrong*, then the hypothesis will lose its acceptance in the scientific community. * Such an experiment would have to be repeatable by other scientists AND accepted by interested scientists as a proof that the hypothesis is wrong.
When do you accept a hypothesis?
You accept an alternative hypothesis when the p-value is greater than the sample a for a confidence level of 95%. The null hypothesis cannot be accepted.
Reject or accept null hypothesis F-test?
F-test results will determine if the null hypothesis will be rejected or accepted. All test are ran with the assumption that the null hypothesis is true.
What does the researcher hope to do with null hypothesis the opposite of the research hypothesis?
Be able to reject the null hypothesis and accept the research hypothesis
What does the researcher hope to do with the null hypothesis (the opposite of the research hypothesis)?
Be able to reject the null hypothesis and accept the research hypothesis
What does the researcher hope to do with the null hypothesis (the opposite of the research hypothesis)?
Be able to reject the null hypothesis and accept the research hypothesis
When you accept the Null Hypothesis you are certain that the Null Hypothesis is correct?
No, you are never certain.
What do scientist do after they have tested a hypothesis?
Depending on the results of that test, either accept or reject that hypothesis.
