Incorrect description of p-value interpretation in PROC UNIVARIATE documentation


There is an error in the documentation of Goodness-of-Fit Tests in PROC UNIVARIATE. The second paragraph states:

When the p-value is less than the predetermined critical value (alpha value), you reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the data came from the theoretical distribution.

The correct statement is:

When the p-value is less than the predetermined critical value (alpha value), you reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the data do not come from the theoretical distribution.

This misprint occurs in the "Statistical Computations" section in PROC UNIVARIATE in the SAS Procedures Guide, Version 8 as well as the Version 7 and Version 8 SAS OnlineDoc.
