In my regression analysis, I have 1 dependent and 5 independent variables. The analysis showed that fifth independent variable's p-value (Sig.) is 0.734, which is 0.05, thus statistically insignificant for analysis/model.

The regression method I am using is: Backward.

My question is: 1) how should I state this result in my paper? Also what should I write about hypotheses? should I reject the hypotheses or just say that it was not-significant for the model, therefore the hypotheses could neither be rejected, nor approved?

Please advise, what should I do
