Indicate your specific subject in the "School Subject" box, so those with expertise in the area will respond to the question.

What level of significance are you using? P = .05? P = .01?

Z = (score-mean)/SEm

SEm = SD/√n

Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportion/probability related to your Z score. Is it higher or lower than your significance level?
