Two medical students poll a random sample of classmates concerning their choices for residency training and find that the percentage of women who plan to train in primary care is significantly higher than the percentage of men (p<0.05). The probability is less than 5% that<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />





1) the sampled men will enter a primary care field.



2) the difference between the men and women is real.



3) all the women in the class will enter a primary care field.



4) the difference between the sampled men and women is due to chance.



5) this sample reflects the choices of the whole class.

Ask me Frank . P value is the probability that the finding has occured purely due to Chance. ( thats the defnition of P value)
