I have the following R output from the summary of my linear model lm(y ~ x):

Multiple R-squared: 0.009909, Adjusted R-squared: 0.007681 F-statistic: 4.010 on 1 and 98 DF, p-value: 0.03724

What does the p-value of 0.03724 actually mean? I know it is between 0.01 and 0.05 so there is strong evidence to reject the hypothesis that ...?

In the absence of any distinguishing information about your situation, I have closed this as a duplicate of a generic question about interpreting p-values. – whuber Jan 19 '18 at 20:01
