Correct

2) A P-value greater than the chosen level of significance results in concluding the null hypothesis is

Yes, but we say "we fail to reject the null hypothesis", we don't say the null hypothesis is true

3) The alternative hypothesis will be accepted to be true if the null hypothesis is rejected.

True.

No, we don't accept the alternate hypothesis, we reject the null hypothesis. It's all in the words we use.

4) Sometimes both the null and alternative hypotheses can be rejected at a level of
significance.

False.
