Thirty rats are randomly assigned to three groups (10 rats per group) and all learned the same maze. The number of trials required for one errorless performance was the dependent variable. In the goal box they are given a glucose solution as a reward. One group was allowed 10 licks of the solution; one was allowed 5 licks; and one, 2 licks. Summary data for the three groups are presented below.  10 Licks 5 Licks  2 Licks ΣX6080100ΣX23808751200N101010\begin{array} { l c c c } & \text { 10 Licks } & 5 \text { Licks } & \text { 2 Licks } \\\Sigma \mathrm { X }& 60 & 80 & 100 \\\Sigma \mathrm { X } ^ { 2 } & 380 & 875 & 1200 \\N & 10 & 10 & 10\end{array} a.

Wolfgang Kohler in The Mentality of Apes (1925) describes Sultan the ape's "aha"experience of putting two sticks together to make a banana rake. Later, American psychologists asked if the "aha"insight was dependent on previous experiences with sticks-perhaps Sultan was just remembering, rather than discovering, the solution to the problem. In one of the later studies, chimps with no experience with sticks were compared to those that had weeks, months, or years experience. The number of minutes needed to solve the problem was recorded and the following means were obtained, each based on an N of 14: no experience (0) -50, weeks-60, months-40, years-20. The overall F was 2.80. The following HSD values were found. 0 vs. Weeks  Months vs. Years  0 vs. Months 2.954.632.50\begin{array} { c c c c } & 0 \text { vs. Weeks } & \text { Months vs. Years } & \text { 0 vs. Months } \\ & 2.95 & 4.63 & 2.50\end{array} Interpret the results in English.
