This is a great demonstration! As someone with an interest in the idea of statistics, but absolutely zero formal training, this solidified a lot of the terms I have heard and kind of get, but didn't put together until now.

I would love to see more of these types of explanations for other statistics concepts!

Side note: I did find a typo in your explanation:

>To determine the outcome of our test, we compare our p-value to a significance level. This should be determined a prioir

That should be spelled "a priori"

Thanks for the kind comment, I’m glad it was helpful. I recommend you check out explorabl.es - they have a ton of informative interactives, covering a wide range of disciplines. And thanks for the typo notification!
