(noun) a liquid or semi-liquid edible dressing or condiment served as an accompaniment to or an ingredient in a meat, dessert, or other food: pizza sauce, steak sauce, cranberry sauce, chocolate sauce, etc., or (verb) to add said sauce to something.
All hypothesis tests ultimately use a p-value to weigh the strength of the evidence (what the data are telling you about the population). The p-value is a number between 0 and 1 and interpreted in the following way: A small p-value (typically â¤ 0.05) indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis, so you reject the null hypothesis.
The P-value provides a measure of this distance. The P-value (in this situation) is the probability to the right of our test statistic calculated using the null distribution. The further out the test statistic is in the tail, the smaller the P-value, and the stronger the evidence against the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative.
