The p-value is the probability of obtaining a test statistic at least as extreme as the one observed, assuming the null hypothesis is true. If this probability, or p-value, is less than or equal to the significance level (alpha), then we reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis. Therefore, when the p-value is less than or equal to alpha, we can reject the null hypothesis.
