How many of you could fully explain how a p value is calculated (this may be the wrong sub to put this in, but I'll let my point stand)?

How much do you understand about statistics and p-values

I could tell you how it's used. I'd have to look up how to calculate it these days. I could tell you that's a shitty way to get to 67% of something using an ambiguous question that a high schooler could pick apart.

Shitty questions in, shitty conclusions out 🤷‍♂️
