Default Interpretation of P value

Dear,

Would the P value have different meaning for t distribution and chi square distribution?

For T distribution: P = Probability (t>Tk where t would be rejected)
For Chi square: P= Probabiity (X^2 < X0^2 where X^2 would be accepted)

Please refer the CAS table for these 2 distribution, you may see the shade area of P have opposite meaning.

Please verifiy my observation.

thanks
