If your hypothesis is totally incorrect then it is quite likely that the data will not support it.

The null hypothesis for a 1-way ANOVA is that the means of each subset of data are the same.
In statistics, a null hypothesis is the hypothesis which you wish to test against some alternative. Often, it is framed in a way that is the opposite of what you wish to prove. You then collect the data and, if the resulting test statistic is such that observations which are at least as extreme as the one realised is very unlikely under the null hypothesis, then it is rejected and the alternative accepted.
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.
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 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.
