jected? -It means the results of the study are not due to chance
12. What is p-value? -Number describing how likely it is that your data would have occurred by random

-The smaller the p-value, the stronger the evidence that you should reject the null
hypothesis
13. if P<0.05 it? -Rejects null hypothesis
-Statistically significant
-A significant result and this would have only arose 5/100 times through chance
-Experimental and control groups are considered to be significantly different
14. if p>0.05? -Fail to reject the null hypothesis
-Not statistically significant and indicates strong evidence for the null hypothesis
