Statistic Hypothesis Question?

H null: 1000

H alt: µ<1000

α: .01

How can I find the p-value? OR How can I find the value of n, x-bar or Sx if p-value= .0224?

Update:

Thanks for the answers guys but I actually need to find the P-value. I took down some notes on my notebook and wrote the p-value =.0224 but don't know how I got that. So given H-null, H-alt and α how can I find the P-value?

    you cant from the information you gave - the p-value was obtained from a test statistic, which in turn was calculated from data or from other info (such as the mean, std dev, sample size)

    "If P is low, the null must go". Because your p-value is NOT less than alpha, you should NOT reject the null hypothesis. No need to find x-bar, Sx, or n.
