Abstract
In 2016 the American Statistical Association published “ASA Statement on Statistical Significance and P -Values.” In this statement it seems that the use of statistical tests or p -values is discouraged because they are misused and misinterpreted. I doubt whether a statistical procedure such as test of significance should be rejected because it is misused and misinterpreted. I pose some questions about the ASA statement.
