Understanding P-Values

The p-value helps you determine the significance of your results in hypothesis testing. It represents the probability of obtaining results at least as extreme as observed, assuming the null hypothesis is true.

How to Interpret P-Values

P-value ≤ α: Reject the null hypothesis

Your results are statistically significant. The observed effect is unlikely due to chance.

P-value > α: Fail to reject the null hypothesis

Your results are not statistically significant. The observed effect could be due to chance.

One-Tailed vs Two-Tailed Tests

One-Tailed Test

Use when you have a specific direction for your alternative hypothesis (greater than or less than).

Two-Tailed Test

Use when you want to detect any difference from the null hypothesis, regardless of direction.
