qEvidences
from the sample that is inconsistent with the stated hypothesis
leads to the rejection of the hypothesis, whereas evidence supporting
the hypothesis leads to its acceptance.
qThe
rejection of a hypothesis is to conclude it is false.
qThe acceptance of a
statistical hypothesis is a result of insufficient evidence to reject it and
does not necessary imply that it is true.
qTherefore,
it is better to state a hypothesis that we wish to reject.
