The local Hannaford was tracking the proportion of customers who bought flour in their stores. In mid-March they found that 65% of customers were buying flour when it was available. They want to know if that percentage has decreased now that flour is more readily available. Their hypotheses are: Ho: ρ ≥ .65 and Ha: ρ < .65. They sample 200 customers and found that 120  of them bought flour.  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.
