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)

If we reject the null hypothesis what can we conclude about the alpha risk?
If we reject the null hypothesis, we conclude that the alternative hypothesis which is the alpha risk is true. The null hypothesis is used in statistics.
Is the critical region the values of the test statistics for which the null hypothesis will reject?
The null hypothesis will not reject - it is a hypothesis and is not capable of rejecting anything. The critical region consists of the values of the test statistic where YOU will reject the null hypothesis in favour of the expressed alternative hypothesis.
What causes hypothesis to be rejected?
We have two types of hypothesis i.e., Null Hypothesis and Alternative Hypothesis. we take null hypothesis as the same statement given in the problem. Alternative hypothesis is the statement that is complementary to null hypothesis. When our calculated value is less than the tabulated value, we accept null hypothesis otherwise we reject null hypothesis.
How is z score and p value related?
The z-score is a statistical test of significance to help you determine if you should accept or reject the null-hypothesis; whereas the p-value gives you the probability that you were wrong to reject the null-hypothesis. (The null-hypothesis proposes that NO statistical significance exists in a set of observations).
The term statistical significance implies that the results are?
The observed value is unlikely to have occured purely bt chance under the null hypothesis and, as a consequence, you ought to reject the null in favour of the alternative hypothesis.
