Rejecting the hypothesis - Kasetsu no Kikyaku

...refers to the region that serves as the basis for judgment when testing a statistical hypothesis.

In the former case, we say that we reject the hypothesis (the hypothesis is a null hypothesis), and in the latter case, we say that we accept the hypothesis even though we cannot actively assert the validity of the hypothesis.

*Some of the terminology explanations that refer to "rejecting a hypothesis" are listed below.
