Scientists believe that experiments can test hypotheses and answer the specific scientific question at hand and can either support or deny the justification of a theory. Either way, the theory will always have outliers and cases that reduce its legitimacy. While a theory can become very strong in its support, scientists say that nothing can ever be 100% "proven"

What is meaning by saying that a hypothesis must be testable?
In Karl Popper's terminology there must be a way to prove a hypothesis false. That is what it means when scientists say that a specific hypothesis is a "testable hypothesis".
When a hypothesis is supported by an experiment do we say that we have proven the experiment and it can become a theory?
That's the first step.
When enough experimental data support a hypothesis becomes a(an)?
The hypothesis can never really be proven correct; that's why scientists always say that they are 99.9% sure about things. If you drop a pencil, it will most likely always fall, but there is the slight chance that someday, it won't fall. Things in science always change.
Why don't scientists say they have proven their hypothesis true?
Unlike religion, science need objective and strong evidence before giving credit to a theory as explanation of something. And anything that has been proven "true" can always be proven wrong by any other new theory which fits better or simoly be proven wrong.
What is a verbal hypothesis?
ANSWER: A verbal hypothesis is when you say a hypothesis orallly.

What do scientists use to help them create a hypothesis?
Based on things, they use everything. Scientists observe then say what they think.

Is the null hypothesis considered correct until proven otherwise?
No. The null hypothesis is not considered correct. It is an assumption, and hypothesis testing is a consistent meand of determining whether the data is sufficiently strong to say that it may be untrue. The data either supports the alternative hypothesis or it fails to reject it. See examples in links. Also note this quote from Wikipedia: "Statistical hypothesis testing is used to make a decision about whether the data contradicts the null hypothesis: this is called significance testing. A null hypothesis is never proven by such methods, as the absence of evidence against the null hypothesis does not establish it."

Why dont women like sex as much as men?
that's not true or proven its just something that people say
Scientists sometimes have several different hypotheses about why things are the way they are?
Yes, scientists have lots of different hypotheses about why things are the way they are. A hypothesis is actually just an educated guess. (Say you put two pots of water on the stove, one with three cups of water and the other with half a cup. A hypothesis might be that the pot with half a cup will take less time to start boiling, or to reach a certain temperature.) To scientists, a theory is a hypothesis that has been supported by lots and lots of experiments. So when a scientist says they have a hypothesis - it means they have an educated guess, when they say they have a theory - it means they are pretty sure this is true. There are few absolutes in science.
