ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
Given:
We can never be sure about the conclusion of a hypothesis test, thus we cannot conclude that is definitely false or definitely true.
The P-value does not indicates the likelihood of the null hypothesis being true (but the probability of obtaining the sample results or more extreme when the null hypothesis is true) and thus the statement that there is a probability that is true is not correct.
