A transect is an archaeological study area that is  mile wide and 1 mile long. A site in a transect is the location of a significant archaeological find. Let x represent the number of sites per transect. In a section of Chaco Canyon, a large number of transects showed that x has a population variance . In a different section of Chaco Canyon, a random sample of 23 transects gave a sample variance  for the number of sites per transect. Use an  to test the claim that the variance in the new section is greater than 39.9.

​

Given that the value of  is 37.88, find (or estimate) the P-value of the sample test statistic.
