Whether or not we reject the null hypothesis depends on all of the above factors - the probability of the result given the null hypothesis is true, how far the data depart from what we would expect if the null hypothesis were true, and the size of some test statistic. All of these factors are important in determining whether the results are statistically significant and support rejecting the null hypothesis.
