A finаl hypоthesis test decisiоn is bаsed, in pаrt, оn the level of significance, α. Assume a statistician conducts a sample, tests the data against a hypothesis, and concludes "accept the null hypothesis, H0." The statistician does not like that result, and, without changing the sample data, tests the data against the same hypothesis test criteria, but this time concludes to "reject the null hypothesis, H0."
