It should be a simple question. I only have my level II material with me so I can’t look this up and its driving me batty. Reading 11, EOC question 10… p-value = 0.00904 df Numerator = 1 df Denominator = 3 F-Statistic = 36.667 Question: Is the F-test significant at the 5 percent significance level? Answer: Yes. The significance of 0.00904 given in the table is the p-value of the test. This is less than the specified significance level of 0.05, so we reject the null hypothesis. WILL THE P-VALUE ALWAYS BE GIVEN TO US? I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO GET THE P-VALUE ON THE EXAM!?! HELP!?!
p-values are usually output in the ANOVA table. If they require you to use it, they will provide it.
Even if P value is given, look at the F stat of 37. That is really high, considering you have 2 independent variables.
Usually, if the F stat value is too large, as in your example, p-value is usually small enough to reject the null.

p-value is the smallest level of significance (1-alpha) at which we can reject the null. so if p < the level of sig, F-test (or whatever test) indicates significance.
That is a output from the ANOVA. There is no way p-value can be calculated by you… We cannot calculate it, at least not with what we have learnt in the curriculum. you can make an indication of what the max p-value may be - which is the 1-Level of significance… nothing more than that.
