This podcast, from University of Otago science communication student Ellen Ozarka, explores the funnily named p-value or probability-value.

She asks 'what is a p-value?' and how do we use it?

She also wonders about the consequences of giving numbers too much power.

In science, says Ellen, p-values are often viewed as the only thing that matters, the end all and be all.

But just because that’s how it is, it doesn’t mean that’s how it should be.
