A P value is the smallest fixed level for which the test statistic would lead to rejection of the null hypothesis. For example, if P = 0.023, then anyone who tested the corresponding null hypothesis at a fixed level greater than 0.023 (e.g., 0.05) would reject, while anyone working at a fixed level less than or equal to 0.023 (e.g. 0.01) would fail to reject.
