You have a dataset of the average number of chirps per minute for a sample of 30 crickets. You find that the mean number of chirps per minute is 40 and that the number of chirps per minute has a standard deviation of 5 chirps. You want to test that the mean number of chirps per minute for a cricket is greater than 38 using a significance level of .05. What is the value of your test statistic? Round your answer to two decimal places.
