Oh, what the heck. To be rigorous, you should probably mention that it's the probability of seeing the observed data *or something more extreme* under the null. And I'm not sure what a "tested population" is...<BR/><BR/>I really hope you're who I think you are instead of some well-meaning stranger who I've just alienated. :)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474732557296370467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23589994.post-1152724890589095852006-07-12T13:21:00.000-04:002006-07-12T13:21:00.000-04:00strip naked to work? don't do that to me, I'm tryi...strip naked to work? don't do that to me, I'm trying to work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23589994.post-1152724838339751672006-07-12T13:20:00.000-04:002006-07-12T13:20:00.000-04:00p-value: the probability that the difference obser...p-value: the probability that the difference observed between groups is due to chance alone (or alternately, that the observed sample came from the tested population given the assumption that the null hypothesis is true).<BR/><BR/>Celsius is of course way hotter than Farenheit. Swede vs. German? No contest. If the classmate is really going just by the numbers, it would be arctic, no?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
