If the obtained probability (p-value) for a t test is greater than alpha, it means that the observed difference between the sample means is not statistically significant and falls within the margin of error. Therefore, we fail to reject the null hypothesis (H₀) and conclude that there is insufficient evidence to support the alternative hypothesis (H₁). This does not necessarily mean that H₀ is true, but only that we cannot reject it based on the available evidence.
