Definition
"El valor p" is a statistical measure used in research to indicate the significance of the results. It helps determine whether the observed data can be attributed to chance or if there is evidence to support a specific hypothesis in the study.
Etymology
The term "el valor p" comes from the English 'p-value,' where 'p' stands for 'probability.' It was introduced in the early 20th century in statistics to quantify the likelihood of obtaining results at least as extreme as the observed ones, assuming the null hypothesis is true.
