IV. STATISTICAL TEST. Solve the problem completely as directed:

A researcher hypothesized that electrical stimulation of the lateral habenula will result in a decrease in food
intake (in this case, chocolate chips) in rats. Rats undergo stereotaxic surgery, and an electrode is implanted
in the right lateral habenula. Following a ten-day recovery period, rats (kept at 80 percent body weight) are
tested for the number of chocolate chips consumed during a 10-minute period, both with and without electrical
stimulation. The testing conditions are counter balanced. Compute the appropriate t-test for the data provided
below. (𝛼 = 0.05)

INTERVENTION FOOD INTAKE IN TERMS OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS CONSUMED

WITH STIMULATION 12 7 3 11 8 5 14 7 9 10
