To find the sum of \( p \) and \( Q \), we first need to organize the values given:

Let \( p = \frac{3}{4} \) and \( Q = -\frac{11}{4} \).

Now, we can sum \( p \) and \( Q \):

\[
p + Q = \frac{3}{4} + \left(-\frac{11}{4}\right)
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
p + Q = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{11}{4}
\]

Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can combine the numerators:

\[
p + Q = \frac{3 - 11}{4}
\]

Calculating the numerator:

\[
3 - 11 = -8
\]

Thus, we have:

\[
p + Q = \frac{-8}{4}
\]

Now, simplify \( \frac{-8}{4} \):

\[
\frac{-8}{4} = -2
\]

Therefore, the sum of \( p \) and \( Q \) is:

\[
\boxed{-2}
\]
