I'm fine doing the "Critical Value" approach but I can't figure out for the life of me how to do the P value approach. For example.
Ho: u <(or = to) 50
Ha:u > 50
x=51.05
Sample Standard Dev. =14.2
alpa=.05
n=25
When I compute my test statistic I get t=.3697 so I compare that to the value I found in the t table under the .05 alpha level and 24 degrees of freedom and I get 1.7109. So .3697 is less than 1.7109 and we do not reject ho. This is what my teacher calls the Critical value approach.
That part I understand but then for the answer section of the p value approach he has:
Since p-value (.35, .45) >(or = to) alpa we do not reject ho.
Where does he get these 2 numbers .35 and .45. I'm guessing it's somewhere on the table but I have no idea and I can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
