No. Rejecting the Null Hypothesis means that there is a high degree of probability that it is not correct. This degree of probability is the critical level that you choose for the test statistic. However, there is still a small probability that the null hypothesis was correct.

What does it mean when a scientist fails to reject a hypothesis?

It means that the experiment is consistent with the hypothesis. It adds to the credibility of the hypothesis.


What does it mean if a scientist can't reject a hypothesis?

It means that she or he has to accept that the existing hypothesis appears to be true.


Can you not reject null hypothesis?

you do not need to reject a null hypothesis. If you don not that means "we retain the null hypothesis." we retain the null hypothesis when the p-value is large but you have to compare the p-values with alpha levels of .01,.1, and .05 (most common alpha levels). If p-value is above alpha levels then we fail to reject the null hypothesis. retaining the null hypothesis means that we have evidence that something is going to occur (depending on the question)


What dose it mean if a scientist fails to reject a hypothesis?

It means there is no reason why he should reject it, whether because there is no evidence to the contrary or because an experiment set up to test it affirmed that hypothesis.

What does state whether your hypothesis was correct or not mean?

It means tell them how your hypothesis was right or not.


What is the mean of a null hypothesis being rejected?

the hypothesis might be correct* * * * *The available evidence suggests that the observations were less likely to have been obtained from random variables that were distributed according to the null hypothesis than under the alternative hypothesis against which the null was tested.


What is it called when your hypothesis is correct?

When your hypothesis is correct, it is called a positive result or a successful outcome. This means that the data and evidence gathered during the experiment or study support your initial prediction or assumption.


Can a hypothesis become wrong?

Yes. The term means best guess. Data can prove that is not correct.


When should you accept a null hypothesis?

The null hypothesis cannot be accepted. Statistical tests only check whether differences in means are probably due to chance differences in sampling (the reason variance is so important). So if the p-value obtained by the data is larger than the significance level against which you are testing, we only fail to reject the null. If the p-value is lower than the significance level, the null hypothesis is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis.


If a null hypothesis is not rejected at the 0.10 level can it may be rejected at the 0.05 level?

No, because 0.05 is a stricter alpha level than 0.10. 0.05 means you are allowing for 5% error, and 0.10 means 10% error. Therefore if you can not reject it at 0.10 then you can not reject it at either 0.05 or 0.01.
