Perhaps, if we statisticians could loosen up our obsessive/compuslive,
anal-retentive natures a little (I have one, too, and it is very common in math
so don't get mad), we might agree that what the programs are giving is "the

The program Cupid computes critical values and significance levels
(among other things) for many distributions, including the F, t, r,
and ChiSquare.
It is
As Donald has already pointed out, what I think you want is the p-value, not the
significance level. Given that, Excel has a F-distribution so you don't need to resort
to tables:
FDIST(f,degrees_freedom1,degrees_freedom2)
gives the probability that F > f.
degrees_freedom1 is the numerator de
Modstat isn't shareware, there is a free two-month trial of the software
available.
Modstat does over 250 statistical tests and routines including finding the
probability level of F values given the two two degrees of freedom that are
involved.
Take a look at:

just click on the field "confidence level" to have that field checked in the
regression analysis menu (from "data analysis") in Excel. That one is the
95% one though. if you want a different one, there are built-in functions
which I don't remember off the top of my head.

Live is not simple. The term "observed significance level" or "achieved
significance level" is fairly standard in statistics. It's basically
the p-value. For a precise definition, see Efron and Tibshirani,
Introduction to the Bootstrap, p. 203.
The quotation of A. Lincoln merely gives one side in

Of course not. Significance level cannot be computed: it is an
arbitrary choice of the investigator (or the analyst). Commonly set at
0.05, aka 5%,
