I want to know how accurate are the p-values when you do linear regression in R? I was looking at the variable x3 and the t=10.843 and the corresponding p-value=2e-16 which is the same p-value for the intercept where the t-value for the intercept is 48.402. I tried to calculate the p-value in R and I got 0 x<-2*(1-pt(10.843,2838)) > x [1] 0 > G<-lm(y~x1+x2+x3+x4+x5) >
