Abstract： The misuse and abuse of NHST (null hypothesis significance test) and p value are quite serious in scientific research. NHST is a hybrid of Fisher’s significance test and N-P hypothesis test. But how is it mingled and how is it reflected in the calculation steps? Where are the logical flaws in NHST and p value calculations? There are no detailed and simple answers to these questions. Expounding, analyzing and comparing the steps of Fisher’s significance test, N-P hypothesis test and NHST clearly, combined with a typical example for the logical defect analysis of NHST and p-value calculations, can provide some inspiration for the empirical researchers who are not deeply involved in the field of statistics.
