P-Value & Critical Region in Probability 📊

Today I explored two important concepts in hypothesis testing:

🔹 P-Value
β€’ Probability of getting results at least as extreme as observed, assuming the null hypothesis is true.
β€’ Low p-value (< 0.05) β†’ strong evidence against null hypothesis.

🔹 Critical Region
β€’ The range of values where we reject the null hypothesis.
β€’ Defined by significance level (Ξ±), often 5%.

🔹 Why it matters?

✅ P-value tells us how surprising our result is.
✅ Critical region decides whether to accept or reject a hypothesis.

⚡ Fun Fact: The 0.05 threshold for p-values was first popularized by Ronald Fisher in the 1920s β€” and it still rules data science & research today! 📖
