How to get p-values

Hello all there, I want to reimplement (for my personal, still very limited understanding of statistics) the linear regression. Now how do I get the correct values for F and T distributions (something like F.05[1,2], where 1 and 2 are degrees of freedom)? I tried dt and df, but the values I got were not correct. Thank you very much in advance, Mathias Ditzen
Functions to give p values all start with p: pf and pt. Be careful to note that they give the lower tail of the respective distributions. To get an upper tail, subtract from 1 (or use lower.tail=FALSE). To get two-tailed tests add both tails together (which is often the same as multiplying by two).
