A p value <(less than)0.05 indicates that there is less than a 5% chance that the results from a study occurred due to chance alone. This generally means that the results are STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT.
A p value >(more than)0.05 indicates that there is more than a 5% chance that the results from a study occurred due to chance alone. This generally means that the results are NOT STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT.

the pointy side is always the smaller side, compared to the wide open space side which is always the bigger side..

sooo

small/pointy = smaller

wide/open = bigger
