In a one-tailed (lower tail) hypothesis test, a test statistic of 2 typically corresponds to a high p-value because it indicates the observed result is far to the right of the mean in a standard normal distribution. The exact p-value depends on the distribution being used, but for a standard normal distribution, a test statistic of 2 would correspond to the area to the right of 2, which is approximately 0.9772, indicating that the result is not in the lower tail of the distribution.
