Suppose that the daily number of miles driven per school bus driver in the United States is normally distributed with a mean of 300 mi and standard deviation equal to 26 mi. A local school bus budget committee believes the daily number of miles driven per bus driver in their community is different from 300 mi, but they are not sure if it is greater than or less than the national average.
To test their hypothesis, the committee chooses a random sample of 40 school bus drivers and records how many miles each of them drives per day during a typical week. On average, the bus drivers from the sample drive 309 mi per day. To test the hypothesis that the average number of miles driven by local bus drivers is different from the national average, the budget committee calculates the z-statistic to be 2.19 standard deviations above the population mean.
Use the standard normal z-distribution table to calculate the P-value that represents the probability of mistakenly rejecting the claim that the daily number of miles driven by local bus drivers is not statistically different from the national average. Give your answer as a decimal rounded to four places.
P-value:
