To be more precise, we can linearly interpolate between the closest values. However,
most tables and calculators directly provide the values:

The Z-table gives P (Z < −1.68) = 0.0465.

For finer detail, use statistical software or more precise tables to find P (Z <
−1.688).

5. Calculate the two-tailed p-value:

Since we have a two-tailed test, we consider the probability in both tails of the
distribution.

Two-tailed p-value = 2 × P (Z < −1.688)

Given P (Z < −1.688) ≈ 0.0455 (a more precise value),

Two-tailed p-value = 2 × 0.0455 = 0.091

6. Compare the p-value with α:

The significance level α = 0.01.

p-value = 0.091

Since the p-value (0.091) is greater than the significance level (0.01), we fail to reject
the null hypothesis.

7. Conclusion:

At the α = 0.01 significance level, there is insufficient evidence to reject the null
hypothesis that the population mean melting point is 155°F. Therefore, we fail to reject
H0 .​

In conclusion, the calculation of P (Z < −1.688) ≈ 0.0455 and the subsequent two-
tailed p-value calculation confirm our decision to fail to reject the null hypothesis at the
0.01 significance level.
