Can You Explain the P-value to Your Grandmother? — Here’s an Intuitive Explanation.
“ You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother. ” — Albert Einstein
Very strong words there from Albert Einstein.
But in some sense… it’s the truth.
I have heard stories of employers asking their interviewees to explain a technical concept so that their grandmothers’ could understand.
I was once asked something like this before.
And I can tell you, it is no easy feat if you haven’t gave it much thought before.
But you know what?
Yes, it is difficult to explain technical concepts to non-technical folks.
But that doesn’t take away the fact that these non-technical people could also be your bosses, your CEO, your CRO or someone who is a decision maker.
Difficult. Yes.
Necessary? Most definitely.
Being in the data science industry has made me realized how important this skill is.
