In hypothesis testing, the null hypothesis is either rejected or the study fails to reject the null hypothesis.

"The direct interpretation is that if the p-value is less than the required significance level, then we say the null hypothesis is rejected at the given level of significance. Criticism on this interpretation can be found in the corresponding section." - [|Wikipedia]

For DQE need to say something like calculated a realizaiton of the x-statistic and then can say the null hypothesis is not rejected (true) or rejected.

One rejects Ho if the tested statistic is not in the confidence interval.
