P-value for risk factor for susceptibility to depression

Reference no: EM13113270

Depression A recent psychiatric study from the University of Southampton observed a higher incidence of depression among women whose birth weight was less than 6.6 pounds than in women whose birth weight was over 6.6 pounds. Based on a P-value of 0.0248 the researchers concluded there was evidence that low birth weights may be a risk factor for susceptibility to depression. Explain in context what the reported P-value means.
