... true. Large values of the statistic show that the data are not consistent with H0. The probability, computed assuming H0 is true, that the statistic would take a value as extreme as or more extreme than the one actually observed is called the P-value of the test. The smaller the P-value, the stronge ...

... Performing Statistical Inference Using the p-value Method It is assumed that you wish to test a hypothesis about some population parameter (e.g., the population mean, μ). For this, you collect and analyze data taken from a sample of size n. Steps: 1. State the null hypothesis, H0 – for example, that ...

Misuse of statistics

Statistics are supposed to make something easier to understand but when used in a misleading fashion can trick the casual observer into believing something other than what the data shows. That is, a misuse of statistics occurs when a statistical argument asserts a falsehood. In some cases, the misuse may be accidental. In others, it is purposeful and for the gain of the perpetrator. When the statistical reason involved is false or misapplied, this constitutes a statistical fallacy.The false statistics trap can be quite damaging to the quest for knowledge. For example, in medical science, correcting a falsehood may take decades and cost lives.Misuses can be easy to fall into. Professional scientists, even mathematicians and professional statisticians, can be fooled by even some simple methods, even if they are careful to check everything. Scientists have been known to fool themselves with statistics due to lack of knowledge of probability theory and lack of standardization of their tests.
