The P value reflects the probability of observing the results of a study if the null hypothesis is true. A low P value (less than 0.05) indicates that there is strong evidence against the null hypothesis, and suggests that the study hypothesis is true. Therefore, the P value can be used to determine the odds of seeing the study results if the hypothesis is true. The other options (nominal data, chi square test, t test) do not specifically address this concept.
