In a statistical hypothesis test, the significance probability, asymptotic significance, or p value probability value denotes the probability that an extreme result will actually be observed if h 0 is true. Simple method the bonferroni method is a simple method that allows many comparison statements to be made or confidence intervals to be constructed while still assuring an overall confidence coefficient is maintained.
