Why is it the case that a researcher can never prove a research hypothesis to be correct?

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: There is always some possibility (probability), no matter how small, that a sample result was a function of random variation and may not exist in the population. We can only ever “suggest” that the research hypothesis is correct. When publishing research results, authors should say something such as “Results supported the research hypothesis.”
