The p-value ranges between 0 and 1, and represents the probability of obtaining a test statistic as extreme or more extreme than the observed value, assuming the null hypothesis is true. A p-value less than the predetermined significance level (usually 0.05) indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis, while a p-value greater than the significance level does not provide sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, a p-value outside the 0 to 1 range would not make sense in the context of hypothesis testing.
