Answer: This symbolizes that the P-value for his result is less than 5%, and the chances of obtaining his result if he assume that the samples are not related is less than 5%. That means the research will adopted the alternative hypothesis, which shows that his samples are related. The chances of obtaining his result in the alternative hypothesis will be more than 95%, and this will help the research work to be more easier and accurate.

Explanation: Null hypothesis shows that the samples in a research are not related.

Alternate hypothesis shows that the sample in a research are related.
