P-value threshold

A p-value threshold is a statistical standard used to determine the significance of research results. It helps researchers decide if their findings are likely due to chance. Commonly set at 0.05, this threshold means there's a 5% risk of concluding a result is significant when it isn’t. If the p-value is below this threshold, the result is typically considered strong evidence against a null hypothesis (the idea that there's no effect or difference). In simpler terms, a low p-value suggests that what you observed in your data is probably meaningful rather than a random occurrence.
