Episode 295: Statistics for the Boards

In this 295th episode I discuss the kinds of statistical questions that come up on board exams and what you need to know to get them right.

NOTE: In this episode I explained the p value in a very simplified way that isn’t strictly accurate from a statistical standpoint. A p value of 0.03 in a study that, for example, compares a medication to a placebo, actually only means that in the statistical model used, there was a 3% chance that the results that were seen would have been observed even if there was no difference between placebo and treatment. Therefore, given that it was unlikely to see these results, we conclude that there actually is a difference between treatment and placebo.
