Answer:True

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis must agree with experimental results. A hypothesis is an intelligent and informed guess by a scientist regarding a given observation. The hypothesis attempts to explain the observation in empirical terms. However, the scientist must proceed to carry out experiments to confirm or disprove his hypothesis. If the hypothesis is not confirmed by experiment then it must be revised in view of empirical data.
