Detailed explanation-1: -There are two options for a decision. They are “reject H 0” if the sample information favors the alternative hypothesis or “do not reject H 0” or “decline to reject H 0” if the sample information is insufficient to reject the null hypothesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -If p > 0.05: Accept the null hypothesis, H0, as a reasonable possibility. The p-value tells you how surprised you would be to learn that the null hypothesis had produced the data, with smaller p-values indicating more surprise and leading to rejection of H0 when p is less than the conventional 5% threshold.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a jury trial the hypotheses are: H0: defendant is innocent; • H1: defendant is guilty. H0 (innocent) is rejected if H1 (guilty) is supported by evidence beyond “reasonable doubt.” Failure to reject H0 (prove guilty) does not imply innocence, only that the evidence is insufficient to reject it.
