Calculations: Calculate the p-value, describe the p-value and test statistic in regard to the normal curve graph, discuss how the p-value relates to the significance level, and compare the p-value to the significance level to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Determine the appropriate test statistic, then calculate the test statistic.
Note: This calculation is (mean – target)/standard error. In this case, the mean is your regional mean (Pacific), and the target is 275.

Calculate the p-value.
Note: For right-tailed, use the T.DIST.RT function in Excel, left-tailed is the T.DIST function, and two-tailed is the T.DIST.2T function. The degree of freedom is calculated by subtracting 1 from your sample size.
Choose your test from the following:
=T.DIST.RT([test statistic], [degree of freedom])
=T.DIST([test statistic], [degree of freedom], 1)
=T.DIST.2T([test statistic], [degree of freedom])

Using the normal curve graph as a reference, describe where the p value and test statistic would be placed.
