8)Psychology experiments sometimes involve testing the ability of rats to navigate a maze. One researcher needs a maze that will take rats an average of two minutes to solve. He tests several rats on a maze that he thinks will meet his needs. The data is shown below. Assume all conditions and assumptions have been met. Will this maze take the rats too little time? Use a significance level of ?=0.05.
