For ex:
p-value = 0.0287
α = .05 one would reject Ho .0287 < .05
α = .01 one would not have enough evidence to reject Ho

The smaller the significance level, the smaller the "REJECT NULL" region, and the larger the "FAIL TO REJECT" region. 

Therefore, it is MORE DIFFICULT to "REJECT NULL" when a smaller significance level is used, and so, the statement is: highlight_green%28FALSE%29
