alleryA positive test in the hypothetico-deductive method does what to the hypothesis?

CAlways disproves it
DTurns it into a fact
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Strongly implies it
1. The hypothesis is assumed true and implications are inferred.
2. If the tests show the implications true, new insights are gained.
3. A positive test at best strongly implies, but does not definitively prove, the hypothesis.
