Fun w/ Grad Level Statistics

Fun w/ Grad Level Statistics | ME: SO WHAT DOES THIS F=8.10561 MEAN? PROF: THAT'S THE F-TEST, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT NUMBER. YOU JUST HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHETHER THE P=0.003 IS STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT OR NOT. ME: OKAY, IT SEEMS THAT AT LESS THAN 0.05 IT'S SIGNIFICANT. 
BUT HOW IS THE "P" DETERMINED? PROF: BY FIGURING OUT THE F-TEST. | image tagged in math lady/confused lady | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

This is an only slightly paraphrased summary of an email conversation that I had with my professor the other day.

The answer please? My guess is p is not statistically significantly.

No, any p-value of less than .05 *is* statistically significant (you want it as close to 0.0 as possible). But how to determine what the numbers will be for the p-value and the F-Test, I don't know. We're just supposed to enter the data into the statistics program and trust the results that it spits out.

(and I *still* don't know what F-Test refers to...haha)

I'm only in 8th grade, but i'm pretty damn smart. I wouldn't get it anyways. And it's still just a guess. Social-distancing learning has taken its toll on me. lol
