Have each guest compile their own answers for each dish. (Which you should label). With 10 guests, 10 dishes makes sense. Then everyone passes their dish to the left after taking some and tasting it. | |

Moved away from emphasizing the 0.05 p-value, and tried to improve clarity

| Oct 2, 2019 at 17:52 | comment | added | PGnome | @doneal24 I generally agree with you, and often even the 0.05 p-value isn't applied rigorously so the results are sometimes even more suspect than that value would imply. That said, felt it would be better to try to help give a basic insight into a statistical way of looking at this problem by estimating the probability that the null hypothesis explains the observations. I was less concerned with with the specific p-value than the overall thought process. | |

There has been a lot of scrutiny on using a p-value of 0.05 to justify the validity of results and a large number of scientists are pushing for a p-value of 0.005 instead. Even then, the statistics would be used to indicate a likelyhood of validity and therefore worth following up on. The statistician who proposed the p-value standard of 0.05 has been quoted as saying that was the worst mistake of his life. | |
