Question: A researcher would like to examine the effects of humidity on eating behavior. It is known that laboratory rats normally eat an average of \(\mu \) =21 grams of food each day. The researcher selects a random sample of n =16 rats and places them in a controlled atmosphere room in which the relative humidity is maintained at 90% the daily food consumption scores for the rats are as follows:

14, 18, 21, 15, 18, 18, 21, 18, 16, 20, 17, 19, 20, 17, 17, 19

1. Can a researcher conclude that humidity has a significant effect on eating behavior? Use a two tailed test with a=.05.
2. Compute the estimated d and r^2 to measure the size of the treatment effect.
