If the z statistic value calculated is -1.49, what is the p-value of the test?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Hello! Thanks for the question. There is no information about the tail of the test. We are providing the p value for all three possible cases.

Given z statistic value is -1.49.

Case 1: Left tail test

p=P(z<test statistic)  =P(z<-1.49)  =0.0681, from the excel function, =NORM.DIST(-1.49,0,1,TRUE)

case 2: Right tail test

p=P(z>test statistic)  =P(z>-1.49)  =1-P(z-1.49)  =1-0.0681, from the excel function, =NORM.DIST(-1.49,0,1,TRUE) =0.9319
