P-value

The p-value in scientific studies means the probability of its random occurrence, and must typically be less than 0.05 in order to reject the null hypothesis and thereby consider the proposed theory to be supported by statistical significance.
The smaller the p-value, the less likely that an observed outcome would randomly occur under the null hypothesis.
P-values above 0.05 are typically too high to justify supporting publication of a paper in support of a scientific theory.
