since your p-value, .0136, is greater than alpha, you fail to reject the null hypothesis.
DRAW a st normal curve and look at both your test stat and where the rejection region begins.
If the p-value is less than alpha, then your test statistic is in your rejection region.
Hence you reject the null hypothesis is this case.
Likewise if the p-value is large (in comparison to alpha) you fail to reject the null hypothesis.
