Abstract
<p> Many students have a difficult time understanding p-values. This paper presents a simple demonstration that has been used in class many times to illustrate the concept when testing a proportion. It is an active learning exercise that uses only a (possibly) altered deck of cards, and either graphing calculators (TI 80 series) or a computer package to simulate the p-value for the test. It can be expanded (if desired) to also demonstrate the power of a test.</p>
