Formula
Balanced 2x2 ANOVA with F for factor A, factor B and interaction.
Alternative Form
Variables
| Symbol | Name | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| stat | Test statistic | varies | Standardized distance from H0 |
| p | P-value | probability | Extremity under H0 |
| alpha | Level | probability | Rejection threshold |
Explanation
Statistics standardize departures; tail areas price them; alpha draws the line.
Derivation
Sampling distributions under H0 (normal, t, chi-square, F) turn raw gaps into calibrated p-values.
Step-by-Step Calculation
Follow each step to understand how the result is calculated from your inputs.
State H0 and the significance level alpha.
Form the standardized statistic.
Convert to a tail probability.
Compare p against alpha.
Round for display to six decimals.
State the conclusion in context.

Understanding Your Result
Your Result: Test statistic: 22.5
Typical range: p < 0.05 rejects at 5%; p near 1 favors H0 compatibility.
What This Means
The p-value is the chance of data this extreme if H0 were true — small p indicts H0.
Why It Matters
Trials, quality gates and science all ship verdicts through these tests.
Professional Interpretation
Report statistic, df, p and alpha together — never p alone.
Recommendations
- •Pre-register alpha
- •Check assumptions first
- •Report effect sizes with p

The core concept
Null distributions price surprise: the further the statistic, the cheaper H0 looks.
- Statistics standardize gaps
- Tails price surprise
- Alpha draws the line
Derivations — why the formulas work
Why divide by SE
- 1Raw gap scales with units
- 2SE scales with noise/sqrt(n)
- 3Ratio is unit-free evidence

Did You Know?
Short intuition builders — great for class warm-ups.
p is a tail, not a truth
p = 0.04 means 4% of H0 worlds look this extreme — not 96% chance the effect is real.
t has fat tails
Guinness brewer Gosset invented t for tiny samples.
ANOVA protects error
One F replaces many t-tests without inflating false alarms.
