Question
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 = 66 times. Would you conclude that learning is taking place? (Use = 0.01. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your p-value to four decimal places.)
4. p-value =
Explanation / Answer
The statistical software output for this problem is:
One sample proportion summary hypothesis test:
p : Proportion of successes
H0 : p = 0.5
HA : p > 0.5
Hypothesis test results:
Hence,
p - value = 0.0007
Proportion Count Total Sample Prop. Std. Err. Z-Stat P-value p 66 100 0.66 0.05 3.2 0.0007Related Questions
