A researcher is testing the reliability of a new method of growing culinary herbs. It is know that the average time to germination (for the plant to sprout from the seed) for basil grown with the traditional method is μ=7.0 days with a standard deviation of σ=1.8σ=1.8 days. The researcher tests the new method on 36 plants to see if there is any difference between the two methods in the time to germination for basil plants and finds that the average time germination with the new method is x¯¯¯=8.0x days. μ≠7.0 is the alternate hypothesis. What is the test statistic for the test of significance conducted by the basil researcher above? Round your answer to two decimal places
