What is P-Value Calculator?
Measures the probability of obtaining test results at least as extreme as observed results assuming the null hypothesis is true.
How to Use This Calculator
- Select statistical test distribution.
- Enter test statistic score.
- View one-tailed and two-tailed p-values and rejection conclusion.
The Mathematical Formula & Variables
P-value = 2 * (1 - NormalCDF(|Z|))
Step-by-Step Worked Example
Scenario: Z = 2.00 in a two-tailed test.
- Tail area above 2.00 is 0.02275.
- Double for two tails: 2 * 0.02275 = 0.0455.
- Since p = 0.0455 < 0.05, the result is statistically significant.
Result: p = 0.0455
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard threshold for statistical significance?
The most widely used cutoff is alpha = 0.05 (5%), meaning there is less than a 1 in 20 chance the observed effect was random noise.
