Step 1
1 of 2

In a right-tailed test, the P-value is the probability of obtaining a value of zz or greater.

The probability can be found using table 4:

P(Z>2.46)=1P(Z<2.46)=10.9931=0.0069P(Z>2.46)=1-P(Z<2.46)=1-0.9931=0.0069

If the P-value is less than the significance level α\alpha, then reject H0H_0:

0.0069<0.01 Reject H00.0069<0.01\Rightarrow \text{ Reject }H_0
