Understanding p-values: three major misconceptions.

00:00 - INTRO
00:36 - WHAT P-VALUES ARE
06:02 - P-VALUES DON'T TELL YOU IF A HYPOTHESIS IS TRUE
8:15 - P-VALUES DON'T TELL YOU IF AN EFFECT IS MEANINGFUL
11:11 - A LARGE P-VALUE DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE

I'm no statistician, but I do know when lay people cite studies they often misinterpret the data, the method of collection, the sample size, the controls put on any given data set, etc. That's why just throwing up a study in a debate and claiming the science has been settled is so egregiously inaccurate.

Really helpful video. It’s been many years since my last stats course and these misconceptions are easily forgotten.

A study is only as good as it's methodology.

Great vid Alex much needed for layman like me💯💪👍🔥🔥

Ok, the second one got me: tipically i read it meaning exactly that 'oh, theres a significant difference', meaning "probably is the case that" (the significance = prob. of the hypothesis)

I had to read the same sentence in my stat textbook 5 times to really understand it.

God damn it 🌩the journal article about the Dirty Dozen is behind a !@#$%*&^ Elsevier paywall 💔

Appreciate another helpful video. I actually followed your recommendation and enrolled in that coursera statistics course. The first week (p-values) combined with your video helped a lot with the understanding.
Maybe it is just me, but I think it would be nice if you put the titles and authors' names that you recommend / mention in the description below the video.

From what I’ve seen women 100% treat men based on their looks. That’s the one and only thing to focus on. And don’t try to look like a body builder, instead try to look more like BTS

sup bro you probably should try reacting to tiktok clips/news article. btw I think having a mic would be better like this video going forward

Hey Alex are childless adults(who want to be)on the rise? I've read a study that's say that it is. But I thought I would ask you. Also assuming it's true will this trend skyrocket with Gen Z? As most of the numbers are on Millennials. And Gen Z seem even more untraditional.

It should be illegal 🚓 for any statistician to receive his degree without a dual major in English 🙄😒🎓‼We don't need them to be poets but by God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit we need them to explain things in English with decent examples 😢😭🙃🙈🙉🙊🧑‍🏫 ‼

Not malicious, get rid of the goatee, full beard or not at all.
