The p-value
Example: P-value measures probability of observing results under null hypothesis
Definition
"The p-value" is a statistical measure used in research to quantify the probability of obtaining results at least as extreme as those observed, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. It helps assess the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis in hypothesis testing.
Etymology
The term "the p-value" originates from 'probability value,' reflecting its role in representing the likelihood of observed data under a specific hypothesis. It was popularized in the early 20th century with the development of modern statistical hypothesis testing by Ronald Fisher.
