Solve for the p-value. The Shapiro Wilk Test is interpreted based upon the p-value. Therefore, the p-value must be calculated.
Identify the alpha level. The alpha level is used when comparing it to the p-value. The alpha level is often given in problems or can be located in the alpha chart which is also provided.
Compare the alpha level to the p-value. Reject the null hypothesis If the p-value is less than the alpha level. If the p-value is greater than the alpha level, do not reject the null hypothesis.
