Quizplus · Accepted Answer

P-values inform experimenters whether their results might have happened by chance. A p-value is a statistical measure that helps researchers determine the likelihood of their hypothesis being true. It represents the probability of observing a result as extreme as, or more extreme than, the one they obtained if the null hypothesis (i.e., no relationship between variables) is actually true. A p-value of less than .05 (or .01) indicates that the observed result is unlikely to have occurred by chance alone and provides evidence in favor of the alternative hypothesis.
