A hypothesis is a statement.
It is true.
No. In fact, in statistics, an hypothesis is a statement whose truth is to be tested. In science, an hypothesis is a way of summarising a body of information that is capable of being shown to be false.
That is not a statement it is a question

Something that can be proven true or false is already a fact. In science a hypothesis is something that might be proven true or false. In life, an opinion might be proved true or false and become a fact. Examples of facts are: The earth is round. The sun is hot. Water is necessary for life.
If the statement is false, then "This statement is false", is a lie, making it "This statement is true." The statement is now true. But if the statement is true, then "This statement is false" is true, making the statement false. But if the statement is false, then "This statement is false", is a lie, making it "This statement is true." The statement is now true. But if the statement is true, then... It's one of the biggest paradoxes ever, just like saying, "I'm lying right now."
Yes, the alternative hypothesis can be either true or false, depending on the context of the study or experiment. In hypothesis testing, the alternative hypothesis represents a statement that contradicts the null hypothesis; thus, only one can be true at a given time. If the alternative hypothesis is true, it suggests that there is a significant effect or difference, while if it is false, it indicates that the null hypothesis holds true. Ultimately, statistical tests aim to gather evidence to support one hypothesis over the other.
by switching the truth values of the hypothesis and conclusion, it is called the contrapositive of the original statement. The contrapositive of a true conditional statement will also be true, while the contrapositive of a false conditional statement will also be false.
