The Bangor Humane Society tracks cat adoptions closely, and in the past has seen 60% of people who come in to look at cats end up adopting cats. They want to know if that percentage has decreased with the social distancing measures in place. Their hypotheses are: Ho: p 2 .60 and Ha: p < .60. They sample 195 people who looked at cats this month and find that 115 of them adopted cats. What is the computed test statistic? Calculate the z or t, whichever is appropriate, and give the result rounded to 2 decimal places. If it's a negative number, put the negative sign before the number with no spaces between it and the number.
