if it's sample mean, use t-score.

(If it's population mean, you use z-score. )

usually you'd use a graphing calculator or something that can calculate stats?
but here's a useful site for t-score distribution: https://www.statisticshowto.com/tables/t-distribution-table/

(so, let's say your sample size is 15 and you got a t-score of 2, then your p-value falls between 0.05 and 0.025)
