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

First, the setup of the experiment is faulty. How can you tell if hearing is "better," if you have no value for hearing before eating to compare it to? Any analysis would be fruitless.
