PROBLEM :

Two samples of rats are timed for their maze running time. One group is taking a drug and the
other is not. The times are given in the following table:
Rats with drug Rats w/o drug
15 11
12 13
13 9
12 6
10 11
11
Determine whether the use of the test drug results in a different maze running time. Use the
0.05 level of significance.

ANSWER:
H0 (Null) : There is no significant difference between the mean running time of the rats with
drug and no drug.
H1 (Alternative) There is a significant difference between the mean running time of the rats
with drug and no drug.

0.05 Level of significance
