3. The following statements are very important. Give them some careful thought and discuss them.

(a) When we fail to reject the null hypothesis, we do not claim that it is absolutely true. We simply claim that at the given level of significance, the data were not sufficient to reject the null hypothesis.

(b) When we accept the alternate hypothesis, we do not claim that the null hypothesis is absolutely false. We do claim that at the given level of significance, the data presented enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
