The study reports that administering vancomycin incorrectly is associated with red man syndrome. This means that there is a statistically significant relationship between the two variables. The p-value is the probability of getting a result as extreme as or more extreme than the one that was observed, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. In this case, the null hypothesis is that there is no relationship between the two variables. The p-value was less than alpha, which means that the results are statistically significant and that the null hypothesis can be rejected.
