### Conceptual understanding of the P-value [duplicate]

What I currently understand about the P-value is that, if the null hypothesis were true, the P-value is the probability of getting a value of the sample test statistic that is at least as extreme as ...

### Logic of Hypothesis Testing [duplicate]

I know that there is something wrong in the following reasoning but I cannot explain it, can you say what is wrong with the following reasoning: Null Hypothesis: The coin is fair (that is, the ...

### Testing normality [duplicate]

How can I (in R) test whether the given data set is normally distributed? I read related questions suggesting shapiro.test. Unfortunately, according to wikipedia, ...

### intuition/logic behind comparing p-value and significance level [duplicate]

I'm new on this forum and I hope that this is not already asked. My question is this: I know that the p-value is defined as $p=P($obtaining sample as or more contradictory to $H_0$ then the one ...

### How to tell if my mean values are not significantly different? [duplicate]

I am looking to test if two mean and standard deviation values I obtain are not significantly different (comparing a sensor method to the gold standard). I am planning on using a two-tailed t-test in ...

### Grasping the concept of P-value [duplicate]

I am having a hard time grasping the concept of the P-value.. I've read some of the posts in here and on internet, but one thing seem to be missing for me. Usually we look at the probability of ...

### Understanding P-Value with respect to the Level of Significance [duplicate]

The definition of P-value is the probability of obtaining a sample that is more extreme than the ones observed in your data, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. That 's very well-explained in ...

### what would be the null and alternative hypotheses? [duplicate]

In the following statement, what would be the null and alternative hypothesis? The researcher wants to test (at the 1% level), whether the true mean score is at least 5 points. I got confused because ...

### What is p-value in simple words and good non-mathematical examples? [duplicate]

Can someone explain in simple words and with many good down-to-earth examples what is the p-value and how do we find it? Is it true that it shows what is the probability that the sample we have ...

### Yet another question about p-value interpretation [duplicate]

I'm almost positive I'm going to be marked for duplicate, but I really really just need this sorted out once and for all with a simple example. I don't understand how a small p-value is evidence ...

### What exactly is critical value in statistics? I confuse it with p-value and always get it wrong [duplicate]

I learnt that a p-value lower than the alpha value of 0.05 leads us to reject the null hypothesis and vice versa. It seems to be the opposite for critical values. What then, is this critical value - ...
