Q: Is it possible to get a result of 'p-value = 0'?

Detailed Question -

I have done a chi-squared test. I got a result of 'p-value = 0' for some items. Is this possible?

Answer:

Your question is valid. It is extremely rare for this to happen in practice. So, a few points for your consideration are:

  • Was the sample incompatible with the null hypothesis?
  • Was the p-value rounded off to zero (in case it had many zeros before the value)?
