Rejecting the null hypothesis means that we have found evidence that it is false. However, we cannot be completely certain that the alternative hypothesis is true, as there may be other factors at play. The risk associated with rejecting the null hypothesis is the alpha level, which represents the probability of making a type I error (rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true). Therefore, we can only conclude that the null hypothesis is likely false, subject to the level of risk we have chosen.
