For the same data, null hypothesis and level of significance α, the P-value of a one-tailed test is smaller than that of a two-tailed test and the P-value for two-tailed is twice the one-tailed. So the P-value for a one-tailed test might be smaller than α, while the P-value for a two-tailed test could be larger than a. Therefore, It is possible that a one-tailed test results in the conclusion to reject H0 while a two-tailed test results in the conclusion to fail to reject H0.
