What does the p in p-value stand for? Just to clarify, I know more or less how the p-value works, and that the topic of how to properly use the p-value for statistics has already been addressed on this site.
I was really just wondering what it actually stood for, as I couldn't find an answer elsewhere on the internet.

The p stands for probability. A p-value is the probability that we get a sample like the one you tested by random chance alone. Thus, a low p-value tells you that it is extremely unlikely for a sample like the one you have to occur based on random chance.
