1 P(H0|X) is very different from P(X|H0)

2 P(X|H0) – p-value (probability of observing the data, given null hypothesis is true
P(X|Ha) – (probability of observing the data, given alternative hypothesis is true We, of course, have two more probabilities P(H0) – probability null is true (and it can be very different, say, if we are looking for a sick person in a general population, it can be 1% P(Ha) – suppose here we say alternative means not null, so it is 1-P(H0)

3 Bayes formula We can easily see that probability null is true, given the data is P(H0|X) Now, just plugging in several scenarios would show us that P(H0|X) is very different from P(X|H0)

4 Several scenarios Suppose P(X|H0)=0.05 and P(X|Ha)=0.80
Now, depending on the probability of H0 we would get very different results: P(H0) P(X) P(H0|X) 0.5 0.43 0.06 0.9 0.13 0.36 0.99 0.86
