The F-test statistic must be greater than the critical value (crit) at a certain level of significance (usually 0.05 or 0.01) to reject the null hypothesis. The p-value is the probability of observing a F-test statistic as extreme as the one computed from the sample data under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true. The variance and degrees of freedom (df) are used in the calculation of the F-test statistic, but they are not directly used to determine whether to reject the null hypothesis.
