What decision is reached when α is greater than the p-value?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

alpha is the significance value

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it the p value is less than a; we reject the null hypothesis

OpenStudy (amistre64):

otherwise we fail to reject Ho

OpenStudy (amistre64):

let me know if this is right, since its from memory

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if a-p is +; fail to reject ... if - , reject

OpenStudy (amistre64):

....maybe

pictures help me organize the fog

OpenStudy (dboyette):

that is what i read but I am still not understanding what that means.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

p value stands for probability value; of the pvalue obtained is less than the "pvalue" established by the critical point "a" is less than the value at a, its falls out of bounds

OpenStudy (amistre64):

"a" says, this is the cut off point; anything on the other side is bad

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the area under the tail that is cut off by "a" has a certain value right? it has its own "pvalue" if we can say that

OpenStudy (dboyette):

ok

OpenStudy (amistre64):

anything that has a pvalue less than it is simply out of bounds
