Questions tagged [p-value]

For questions related to p-value. In statistics, the p-value is the probability of obtaining results at least as extreme as the observed results of a statistical hypothesis test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct.

In general, p-value is the probability of obtaining a real-valued test statistic at least as extreme as the one actually obtained.

In statistics, the p-value is the probability of obtaining results at least as extreme as the observed results of a statistical hypothesis test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct.

Consider an observed test-statistic $t$ from unknown distribution $T$. Then the p-value $p$ is what the prior probability would be of observing a test-statistic value at least as "extreme" as $t$ if null hypothesis $H_{0}$ were true.

Is P value Type I error in hypothesis testing?

I'm confused about the interpretation of P value in hypothesis testing. I know that we set significance level as 0.05 which is the threshold we set for this test so that it won't suffer from Type I error by 5%. And we are comparing P to significance…

What is the correct interpretation of the P-value in mathematics?

So after doing some research, people tend to confuse as to what the P-value actually stands for and results in wrong interpretation of examples. Take this one: Prof. Johnson conducts a hypothesis test on whether the proportion of all UBC students…
