Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your question, but in a null hypothesis
framework, the only conclusion you can draw from failing to reject
the null hypothesis is that, based on your observed data, you were
unable to conclude that your null hypothesis was false. Put another
way, the correct conclusion for both of your hypothesis tests is
"inconclusive."
