In a maze running study, a rat is run in a t maze and the result of each run recorded. a reward in the form of food is always placed at the right exit. if learning is taking place, the rat will choose the right exit more often than the left. if no learning is taking place, the rat should randomly choose either exit. suppose that the rat is given n = 100 runs in the maze and that he chooses the right exit x = 62 times. would you conclude that learning is taking place? (use α = 0.01.)

There is significant learning

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test on comparison of a single proportion with a hypothesized proportion.

The subject of interest is whether rats really learn.

(Right tailed test)

n =100

Sample proportion p = 0.62

Std error of p assuming H0 to be true is

=

p difference = 0.12

Z statistic = p difference/std error =

p value = 0.0082

Since p <0.01, our alpha we reject null hypothesis

There is significant learning

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
