A horticulturist working for a large plant nursery is conducting experiments on the growth rate of a new shrub. Based on previous research, the horticulturist feels the average weekly growth rate of the new shrub is 3cm per week. A random sample of 45 shrubs has an average growth of 1.50cm per week with a standard deviation of 3cm. Is there overwhelming evidence to support the claim that the growth rate of the new shrub is less than 3cm per week at a 0.050 significance level? Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places, if necessary.
