Step-by-step explanation:
Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to draw the needed shape in the box, then locate it among the answer choices. Use the identifying features such as dot location and direction of arrow (or tail).

Left-to-right, this is what you're trying to match:
Let be the population mean.
As per given , we have
Since the alternative hypothesis is right-tailed , so the test is a right-tailed test.
Also, population standard deviation is given , so we perform one-tailed z-test.
Test statistic :
, where = Population mean
= Population standard deviation
n= sample size
= Sample mean
For n= 18 , ,
,
, we have
P-value (for right tailed test): P(z>2.12) = 1-P(z≤ 2.12) [∵ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z≤z)]\
=1- 0.0340=0.9660
Decision : Since P-value(0.9660) > Significance level (0.01), it means we are failed to reject the null hypothesis.
[We reject null hypothesis if p-value is larger than the significance level . ]
Conclusion : We do not have sufficient evidence to show that the goal is not being met at α = .01 .
