Questions

  • Why the probability value is not the probability the null hypothesis is false?
  • Why a low probability value does not necessarily mean there is a large effect?
  • Why a non-significant outcome does not mean the null hypothesis is probably true?


Misconception 1: The probability value is the probability that the null hypothesis is false


Misconception 2: A low probability value indicates a large effect


Misconception 3: A non-significant outcome means that the null hypothesis is probably true
