P-value

P-value = Probablity of making Type I error

The p-value is the probability that the null hypothesis H0 is true (and incorrectly rejecting it).

The decision rule is to reject the null hypothesis if the p-value < significance level (i.e., there is only a very small chance that the null hypothesis is correct(=true)).
