Abstract

First of all, we derive theoretically a calculation formula of one-sided and two-sided P value for the general one-dimensional continuous random variables. Then, we give two examples to illustrate the application of this formula. Example 1 considers . Example 2 considers , in this example, we make a further discussion on the two-sided P value calculation, and also point out a common mistake in the real calculation of the P value. Finally, we hope the theoretical derivation can clarify some confusions in the calculation of the P value.
