Kontext 1
If the P value is greater than a preset value of alpha, the difference is said to be not significant. This means that the data are not strong enough to persuade you to reject the null hypothesis. People often mistakenly interpret a high P value as proof that the null hypothesis is true. That is incorrect. A high P value does not prove the null hypothesis. This is an important point worth repeating: A high P value does not prove the null hypothesis. As you've already learned in Chapter 11, concluding that a difference is not statistically significant when the null hypothesis is, in fact, false is called a Type II error.
