Round 1 - One-on-one 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. What is p value
  • Ans. 

    The p value is a measure used in hypothesis testing to determine the significance of the results.

    • The p value is the probability of obtaining results as extreme as the observed results, assuming the null hypothesis is true.

    • A p value of less than 0.05 is typically considered statistically significant.

    • A p value greater than 0.05 suggests that the results are not statistically significant.

    • Researchers use p values to determ...
