When we reject the null hypothesis, we conclude that the null hypothesis is false. However, we cannot conclude that the alternative hypothesis is true with certainty, only that there is enough evidence to suggest that it might be true. The F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 risk means that we may still be incorrect in our conclusion up to α (alpha) level of significance.
