Fail to Reject Null Hypothesis
Fail to rejext null hypothesis is something that is used in scientific methods.
Many texts, and perhaps analysts, discuss "accepting" the null hypothesis as though they were stating that the null hypothesis were in fact true. Showing that the null hypothesis is true is not the same thing as failing to reject it. There is a relatively low probability (by construction) of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is in fact true (Type I error). But if we fail to reject the null hypothesis, what's the probability of it being true? Dallal provides an interesting discussion of how "failing to find an effect is different from showing there is no effect!"

Statisticians will never accept the null hypothesis, we will fail to reject. In other words, we'll say that it isn't, or that we don't have enough evidence to say that it isn't, but we'll never say that it is, because someone else might come along with another sample which shows that it isn't and we don't want to be wrong.

It is common to perform experiments in which a 'success' is claimed when the null hypothesis is discarded. However, there is a category of experiment that has become important in which a success is when the null hypothesis is not rejected.
