-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 chance (i.e. that the null hypothesis is true).
-0.05 as the standard level of significance
-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

age
-Abs with MRSA activity = vanc or linezolid
-Gram neg with antipseudomonal coverage: beta lactam-based agents = Zosyn or

ofloxacin/cipro or amikacin/gentamicin/tobramycin or colistin/polymyxin B

elevated plasma cortisol in the AM, serum ACTH elevated, elevated urine free
cortisol (normal is 90)
