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.
