Using the .05 level, do the results support the psychologists' theory?
A psychologist theorized that people can hear better when they have just eaten a large meal. Six individuals were randomly assigned to eat either a large meal or a small meal. After eating the meal, their hearing was tested. The hearing ability scores (high numbers indicate greater ability) are given below. Using the .05 level, do the results support the psychologist's theory?
