A hypothesis can be supported, but no amount of testing can prove a hypothesis is correct with absolute certainty. Is this state
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<em>Yes, the statement is accurate.</em>

Explanation:

A hypothesis can be supported through experiments but we cannot say that the hypothesis is exactly correct because there might be other unknown factors which are unmeasured or unobserved which might be influencing our hypothesis. There are many studies in which a proven hypothesis was proven wrong due to many other factors or influences. Hence, a hypothesis can be supported but there are always chances that other factors might be being ignored which might influence the hypothesis.
