The significance level ($\alpha$) in a hypothesis test is the probability of making a Type I error. A Type I error occurs when we reject the null hypothesis ($H_0$) when it is actually true. Here, $\alpha = 0.05$ means there is a 5% chance of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true (i.e., accepting the alternative hypothesis in error).
