P-value < 0.05
Here, I'll write my own surname down.
Oh. Why?
I don't think you'll be able to spell it right.
Oh fine.
You don't believe me? B-A-R-K-H-O-R-D-A-R-I-A-N. Barkhordarian. I bet it's the longest one you've ever come across yet.
Wow, you're right. What are you?
Armenian.
Ah. Well, my surname's the direct opposite of yours. It'll probably be the shortest you've ever seen.
Yea?
H-O. Ho.
That's it?
Yea.
Oh, I get it now! You're the null hypothesis!
(wtf?) err..yea. YEA! You're right! Explains why I'm always rejected!
HA HA!
BAD JOKE BAD JOKE
BAD BIOLOGY JOKE!
Ahh..okok. I've had my laugh. If you're a biologist or have remotely done any biology before, you'd probably get that. If not, shame on you. This is terrible. I really need to focus on my report. Like, NOW.

dan: ahhh..beta=0? conjuring up lost memories in my head..but MATH1015: Statistical Methods was 2.5 years ago. Haha. But good on you for getting that joke!
lol.. i really din get it.. i din take any maths course since first year.. all i took was phys, chem, bio n material science
OH..!
well..*koffkoff* i shall explain now.
in bio when you conduct an experiment, you need to come up with a hypothesis right? whatever your experiment is about? But then you also need to come up with a null hypothesis..which is whatever your hypothesis is NOT.
so after you collect your data, you run it through statistical tests, you obtain a p-value and if p-value < 0.05 then you reject the null hypothesis..this shows you've proven your hypothesis. and you always reject the null hypothesis la.
and null hypothesis is written as Ho.
wah..long explanation la.

Yeah, its a stats joke, Mel. I would have forgotten all my stats (business stats was in 1st year) but I'm doing Psychology 1B now, and they make us do stats! haha.. Looks like almost everyone uses stats, Mel. Engineers (WK) Accountants (Daniel) Marketers (Me) Psychologists... oh and almost forgot Marine Biologists! Still a funny joke though. haha..
