The (P) - value of our (z) - statistic is 0.975 (rounded to four decimal places).

We must locate the area under the standard normal curve that is more extreme than our computed (z)-score in order to get the (P)-value of the (z)-statistic.

We determined that the (z)-score for Question 3 was -1.96. We must locate the region to the left of -1.96 and deduct it from 1 as we are interested in the region that is more extreme than this figure.

We are able to determine the region 0.025 to the left of -1.96 by using the Standard Normal Table. We can get the area more extreme than -1.96, or 0.975, by subtracting this amount from 1.
