Question

Impossible to know without more information.  Is the p-value reported for the hypothesis or the null hypothesis?

@ccruz1526 The p-value tells us the percent chance our results could be explained by random chance.  Meaning that a p-value of 0.05 tells us that 5% of the time our results could occur due to random factors alone.  Conversely we can be 95% confident that our results are not random.
