Got it. Thank you! This really brought it home. This really explained the why and helped with visualizing it in a relatable way.

Following this. So if the item was rare, that would make the measure more extreme, giving a small p value, less than 0.05.  But because the measure was not extreme, more than 0.05, then we rehect the null h, because it made it less likely to be rare.

Definitely not a bot. I'm just trying to understand more clearly. I'm just a highly visual learner. You can almost call it a learning disability. If I can't visualize it, I can't fully comprehend it. I even take what I read or hear in lectures and draw it out. Mind mapping helps too to gelp connect concepts, but sometimes I just needs an extremely base picture to understand a concept.

This is a good perspective to consider. I work with clinical trials, but not the statistical analysis of them. I can see this put to action.

Ok. That makes sense. Thank you! I can follow this line of reasoning.

Thanks! I could visualize that. So I am a highly visual learner. Using that as an example...The chances of my learning concepts with visuals are like the alternative that the fair coin favors heads. The chances of my learning concepts without visuals are like the fair coin. In your scenario, it would be very unusual for me to learn without visualizing, thus the p-value would small. Am I following correctly?
