A fellow student tells you the P-value is the probability that the null hypothesis is true, so when the P-value is small, you reject the null hypothesis.  Explain why the student is not correct.  What would you tell the student about the P-value to help them out? What exactly is the relationship between the P-value and the hypotheses?

Confidence Intervals

When we calculate intervals in probability and statistics, it can be simply termed as finding out a confidence interval. The confidence interval is usually calculated from the data set which is observed. The value of the parameter that needs to be calculated is present here only.
