If we do not reject the null hypothesis, can we claim to have proven that the null hypothesis is true? Why or why not?
O a. Yes, if the conditions are satisfied and the p-value is larger than the significance level, then the null hypothesis is proven to be true.
O b. No, we do not use the word "proven" because we cannot be 100% sure our conclusions are correct.
O c. No, we never know the value of the unknown parameter.
O d. Both (b) and (c) are correct.
