In a hypothesis test, if the computed p-value is grater than a specified level of significance, then we fail to reject the null hypothesis. The p-value can be computed as the probability of getting a value equal or greater (in absolute value) than the observed value using the test statistic, this implies that if the p-value is greater than a specified level of significance, then the observed value does not fall inside the rejection region. Therefore we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
