The test establishes a p-value, the total probability of observing data as extreme or more extreme, given that the null hypothesis is true.
A p-value for a given test statistic is the cumulative probability of that value and all other values that are even more extreme, given the distribution under H 0, where H 0 typically corresponds to the hypothesis that the model you are testing is true.
Thinking about how this situation compares to something more extreme gives me perspective.
The p value represents the probability of the observed data (or more extreme data) given that the null hypothesis is true: Pr observed data|H0), assuming that the sampling was random and done without error (Kirk, 1996; Johnson, 1999).
Specifically, Fisher's p-value expresses the probability of the observed and more extreme data given the null hypothesis, and can be considered a random variable whose distribution is uniform on (0, 1) under that null.
A more extreme example is given for a sample of ∼30 crystallites or for a perfectly packed sample ∼75 crystallites (Fig. 3 ▶ b).
Seven studies demonstrate how observers use an attribute's value to infer its weight the value-weight heuristic and identify the role of perceived diagnosticity: more extreme attribute values give observers the subjective sense that they know more about a decision-maker's preferences, and in turn, increase the attribute's perceived importance.
Although a lot of Lebanese and Palestinians admire Hizbullah and Hamas for their exploits against Israel, they do not all subscribe to the leadership's wilder aims.Hence the mobster theory: offer such people a legitimate way to get what they care about most and they may drop the more extreme aims, and give up terrorism too.
This, it seems, is exactly what Burke and Winstone are trying to get away from - and why they've taken a massive cut in salary to work at the Royal Court and, in Burke's case, the more extreme measure of giving up acting to become a director.
Former Front Section Editor, Alix Fox, never shied away from trying out the more extreme stuff to give a first-person perspective.
However, Dr. Brown added, these kinds of droughts will have effects that are "even more extreme" in the future, given a warming and drying regional climate.
