    p value?



    I have several "p values" with a value of 0.000 in SPSS. A reviewer in a paper I submitted is repeatedly asking for EXACT p values and not like <0.001.

    How do i find out the exact p value.???

    Double click on the value, you will see that the actual computed p-value becomes visible.

    Because your other post was a double-post, it has been deleted.

    see (point # 3):

    even if you use your pointers to go right?

    Here's another way:

    You will need to know which distribution to use!
    t-test -> students T
    ANOVA -> F-distribution
    ect ect

    when i double click the 0.000 p value in spss 14 it gives me this: 1.458305252439e-017

    does this mean that there are 17 zeros after the decimal point...

    .. like: 0.0000000000000000145
