#' mypvalue
#'
#' When given a t0 it calculates alpha/2 and graphs the distribution
#'
#' This is a function created in the Math4753 package that when given parameters of alpha and t0 it will graph the p-value and display p-values areas
#'
#' @param t0 tcalc param
#' @param alpha the value of alpha
#' @param xmax maximum x
#' @param n number of values
#'
#' @return a list with the q and p-value
