This is so good. I have been struggling with lecturers who gloss over explanations of statistics and your simple explanations always point me in the right direction. I like code but I need to know why we do certain things and what they mean. Your lessons go a long way in providing clarity. Thanks a million.

Great again. What about spurious correlations ? Is there any chance that we have all criteria met and yet we are facing an spurious correlation?

[@EquitableEquations]

Yes! The p-value specifically represents the probability of a false positive when the null is true.
