Answer:

Approximately, 0.067.

Explanation:

Now we have to find the p-function.

The excel function:

TDIST (1.021, 32, 1) = 0.1575

Context:

  • 1.021 is the test statistic
  • 32 is the degrees of freedom
  • 1 stands for one tailed alternative hypothesis

Given from the calculations, it can be said that the P-value is equal to approximately 0.067.
