Getting p-value

Here is the question:

Last week, the BLC online database received 6802 queries. Does this fact provide evidence at a 1% significance level against the claim that the database receives on average 1000 queries per day?

I am not sure how to get the p-value if that is what I need. I do not need the answer per se (though it would be nice), I just need a way to figure it out.

All I have done is divided 6802 by 7 to get the amount of queries per day.

Also, it would be helpful to know how to do it in R.

Thanks.

Generally you would be using a one or two sided t-test (Students t) or a z-test (Normal) or, less common, an f-test (Fisher–Snedecor distribution). All of these tests require a second parameter in addition to the mean, your 6802 divided by 7, to compute a test statistic.
