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

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

"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
