  • 1:45 ...... hahaha

  • My favorite comment is "there is nothing special about 0.05..."

  • Great video addressing that the absence of evidence does not mean evidence of absence.

  • I hate when I don't get significant results, now i feel better

  • Excellent video! The people who strongly support/ask to take the James Randi's One Million Dollar Challenge seriously need to see this educational video, so they can understand why the tests involve in statistical apllications is corrupted by double-standards such as P=0.001 & 0.000001 & why the claimants' claims are completely dependent on the alpha level. Furthermore, they also need to understand that studies that show an effect, but really small, need more statistical power to detect them..

  • Oh man! We gotta talk. I have been looking for the pee value FOREVER (maximum power of the test). Now I realize it's been running down my leg. But there is nothing I can do!

    This is definetly a significant finding

  • LOL

  • I love that.

  • Great video
