Psychology: Training Rats The following data are based on information from the Regis University Psychology Department. In an effort to determine if rats perform certain tasks more quickly if offered larger rewards, the following experiment was performed. On day 1, a group of three rats was given a reward of one food pellet each time they ran a maze. A second group of three rats was given a reward of five food pellets each time they ran the maze. On day 2, the groups were reversed, so the first group now got five food pellets for running the maze and the second group got only one pellet for running the same maze. The average times in seconds for each rat to run the maze 30 times are shown in the following table .

Rat A B C D E F Time with one food pellet 3.6 4.2 2.9 3.1 3.5 3.9 Time with five food pellets 3.0 3.7 3.0 3.3 2.8 3.0 Do these data indicate that rats receiving larger rewards tend to run the maze in less time? Use a 5% level of significance.
