Table 2 When the P-value is utilized to determine whether or not a finding is statistically significant, 1-beta represents the sensitivity for identifying the alternative hypothesis, and 1-alpha represents the specificity
| Reality | |||
| Study findings | Alternative hypothesis true | Null hypothesis true | |
| Significant P-value ≤ 0.05 | 1 - beta (power) | Alpha (exact P-value) | |
| Insignificant P-value > 0.05 | Beta | 1 - alpha | |
