Comment: With H1: u <400 you do not have a two-tailed test; you have
a left tailed test. The p-value would be the area to the left of
the test statistic.
P(z< -1.23) = normalcdf(-100,-1.23) = 0.1093

I used a TI calculator.

The problem would require a two-tailed test if H1 was "u is not equal
to 400". In that case the p-value would be 2*P(z<1.23) = 0.2187
