p-value for a Beta shape test

Let X1,X2X_{1},X_{2} be a random sample of size 22 from a distribution with the probability density function f(x)={αxα−1,0<x<1,0,otherwise,f(x)=\begin{cases}\alpha x^{\alpha-1},&0<x<1,\\0,&\text{otherwise,}\end{cases} where α>0\alpha>0 is an unknown parameter. To test H0:α=1H_{0}:\alpha=1 against H1:α=2H_{1}:\alpha=2, the most powerful test is being used. If the observed value of the random sample is 14,12\dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{1}{2}, then the pp-value of the test equals __________ (rounded off to three decimal places)
