Welcome to the p-hack-athon Data Challenge! We are conducting research on the ways that people use data analysis and data science tools. To do so, we have provided a dataset for you to analyze.

We are interested in the association between the posted standby wait time for a popular amusement park ride and how many units of merchandise were sold that day.

Using the data provided, find the smallest (i.e. most significant) p-value. We will host a leaderboard here throughout the challenge.

This challenge will run until midnight EDT on July 27th.
