What does a high p value mean?
A P-value of 0.5 means that the probability of the difference having happened by chance is 0.5 in 1, or 50:50. P=0.05 means that the probability of the difference having happened by chance is 0.05 in 1. i.e. 1 in 20. it is the figures frequently quoted as 'statistically significant', i.e. unlikely to have happened by chance and therefore important. Remember the lower the P value, the less likely it is that the difference happened by chance and so higher the significance of the finding. If P is low Null must Go! So a P-value 0.01 is often considered to be 'highly significant'. it means that the difference will only have happened by chance 1 in 100 times. If P-value 0.001 means the difference will have happened by chance 1 in 1000 times, even less likely, but still just possible. considered 'very significant'

Many amazing discoveries have been made accidentally...in archaeology, there's the Lascaux caves, the Qin Chi Huang terracotta army, Otzi the ice-man, and, of course, the Dead Sea Scrolls, just to name a few. These are all regarded as being among the most important historical relics in the world, and were all found by mere chance.
