Born's rule in quantum mechanicsstates that when measuring a system using a measuring device that can detect (=project onto) an orthogonal basis of states, the probability of obtaining a certain outcome equals tothe square of the modulus of theprojection of the (normalized) system's state onto the corresponding

Born's rule (square of the modulus) has been verified experimentally numerous times. However, only the overall averages have been verified. For example if the prediction is 60% probability, then over large number of trials, the average outcome will approach the predicted value of 60%. This has been verified by measuring particle spin at angle A relative to the angle of its previously known spin angle. The prediction is square of cos(A/2). These predictions have also been verified with entangled pairs (Bell's state) where the same spin prediction is square of sin(A/2).

What has not been verified is whether the outcomes are due to independent probability, or they are guided by some balancing mechanism.

Hope it helps you.
