Nah, shitty questions as usual. Go around any country and all folks to explain a p value and how is derived.

Unless it's your day job that's just not information the common person retains. A cursory knowledge of what it is and how is used is all that's needed for most.

    Stats is not just about p values. The math was developed to detect cheating in gambling. Anyone winning at a frequency beyond two standard deviations from the mean is cheating. Good cheaters know not to exceed that.

    I'm pretty sure the field of statistics wasn't established by the gambling industry.
