Discussing the meaning of a p-value

Reference no: EM131817588

Four students are discussing the meaning of a P-value. Adam: My last stats prof said when you explain a P-value you want to make it so clear that even your mom could understand what you mean. Brittany: That's so sexist. Why not make it so clear, even your dad could understand it? Carlos: It is kind of insulting. Like "your mom is so bad at statistics, she doesn't know a P-value from a z-statistic." Dominique: And your mom is so bad at statistics, she rejects the null hypothesis when her P-value is greater than 0.05. Carlos: Ouch! Create a new insult of your own: "Your mother/father is so bad at statistics . . ."
