Abstract
A method is demonstrated for representing the false discovery rate (FDR) in a set of p-values on a quantile-quantile (Q-Q) plot of the p-values. Recognition of this connection between the FDR and the Q-Q plot facilitates both understanding of the meaning of the FDR, and interpretation of the FDR in a particular data set.

Comments
I initially submitted this manuscript to bioRxiv, but received a response as follows: manuscript inappropriate for bioRxiv. ... might be better suited to arXiv. Therefore I am submitting the manuscript to arXiv. I guess that the manuscript was judged inappropriate for bioRxiv because it has no explicit biological content, though method presented is widely applicable in biology
