If we reject the null hypothesis, we are accepting the alternative hypothesis. However, there is always a chance (with a probability α) that we made a Type I error by rejecting the null when it was actually true. Therefore, we can only conclude that we have evidence against the null hypothesis with a probability of α for making a Type I error.
