Given that the null hypothesis is true. We need to find the probability that our z-test statistic would fall outside the z-critical boundaries, that means we find the value of P[|Z|>z0(a)]
Critical Value of Z: The critical (or significant) values of Z at a level of significant a is given by the equation: P[|Z|>z0(a)]=a
Plugging the value of a we have P[|Z|>z0(a)]=0.05
Thus, the probability that our z-test statistic would fall outside the z-critical boundaries is 0.05.
