You are conducting a study to see if the probability of catching the flu this year is significantly more than 0.71. Thus you are performing a right-tailed test. Your sample data produce the test statistic z=1.158z=1.158. Find the p-value accurate to 4 decimal places.

Answer 1

To find the p-value from this test, you'll need tail, significance level (to compare), and z-value.

Prompt tells you one-tail (right only).

Prompt gives you z-value= 1.158.

Decide a significance value (0.1, 0.05, etc.).

Then use a z-score table or calculator to find the p-value.
