P-values from z, t, chi-square and F

P-value (two-tailed)

0.049996

Significant at α = 0.05: reject the null hypothesis.

Left-tailed p-value
0.975002
Right-tailed p-value
0.024998
Two-tailed p-value
0.049996

How it was calculated

  1. Distribution: standard normal
  2. Left tail P(X ≤ 1.96) = 0.975002
  3. Right tail P(X ≥ 1.96) = 0.024998
  4. Two-tailed = 2 × min(left, right) = 0.049996
  5. 0.049996 < α = 0.05

How the p-value calculator works

A p-value is the probability of getting a test statistic at least as extreme as the one you observed, if the null hypothesis were true. Small p-values (below your significance level α, often 0.05) are evidence against the null hypothesis.

Right-tailed tests use the area above the statistic, left-tailed the area below, and two-tailed tests double the smaller tail. Chi-square and F tests are almost always right-tailed.

The z p-value uses the normal distribution, t uses Student's t with its degrees of freedom, chi-square uses the regularized incomplete gamma function, and F the regularized incomplete beta function, each computed to about 12 significant digits.
