Hi I need help with this please

p-Hacking

p-hacking is innocently or deliberating manipulating research to get a statistically significantp-value. In this way researchers can get published, but this also creates a high percentage of false studies.

thep-value is the conditional probability of getting data at least as extreme as what was observed GIVEN the Null Hypothesis is true.Many people incorrectly interpret a low p-value to mean there is a high probability that the claim they desire to publish (the Alternative Hypothesis) is true.

Sometimes, researchers will test for many effects and only publish results that have a statistically significant p-value < 0.05. This is considered bad scientific methodologyand is given the namedata dredgingorp-hacking.

In 2005 a paper was published John P. A. Ioannidis,"Why Most Published Research Findings Are False"(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1182327/)

shook the scientific world, bring to light the problem of p-hacking.Still p-hackinghas continued unabated and in 2016a social science journal stopped accepting research using the p-value.The American Statistical Association then published it's first everStatement on properly interpreting p-values(https://amstat.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00031305.2016.1154108#.XsGbSURKiUk)

watch the video and then view the XKCD comic below on p-hacking and Share whatever you want on what you learned.(explain please)
