Question:

8. A Maze Experiment A rat is run in a T maze and the result of each run (right or left) is recorded. A reward in the form of food is always placed at the right exit, so that 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 n5100 runs in the maze and that it chooses the right exit x564 times. Would you conclude that learning is taking place? Use the p-value approach, and make a decision based on this p-value.
