Are you wondering how extreme the results have to be before we conclude that the result is unusual? Well, it is a judgment call. No single cutoff point determines that a result is unusual. But in practice, we often agree on a cutoff point before we collect the data. In the next module we discuss this idea further. However, if you are worried about this issue when taking a Checkpoint for this module, you can consider a result to be unusual if the probability is less than 5%.
