How To Interpret P Value?

A p-value is the probability of observing results at least as extreme as the sample results, assuming the null hypothesis is true

A small p-value suggests the observed data are unlikely under the null hypothesis

A large p-value suggests the observed data are reasonably compatible with the null hypothesis

A p-value does not measure the probability that the null hypothesis is true

A p-value does not measure the size or importance of an effect

A p-value does not prove that a result is practically significant

A p-value below a chosen significance level may be treated as evidence against the null hypothesis

A p-value above a chosen significance level means there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis

A p-value should be interpreted in the context of the study design, sample size, and assumptions

A p-value is not the same as the chance that the result happened by random chance alone

A p-value depends on the test used and the data collected

A p-value should be considered alongside confidence intervals and effect sizes
