Failing to reject the null hypothesis means that the sample provides insufficient evidence against it. It is not a proof that the null is true; it simply indicates that the data do not contradict the null hypothesis strongly enough to warrant rejection.
Conditions: A hypothesis test has been conducted.; The decision is to fail to reject H0.

The significance level α controls the chance of rejecting a true null hypothesis. It defines the probability of making a Type I error, which is rejecting H0 when it is actually true.
Conditions: The test is conducted under the null model.; α is the pre-specified significance level.
