--------------------------------------------------------
1. P-values work with probabilities (areas) rather than outcomes (along the axis).

2. P-value = P(obtain same or a more extreme test statistic than your result when H0 is true).
a. Direction of extremeness is determined by H1.
b. Express test statistic as a Z, T, or similar measure to locate in a stat table.

3. Interpretation:  a. P-value = credibility of H0.  Large p-value supports H0.  Small supports H1.

4. Decision: If P-value ? ?, then reject H0.
