7. Hypothesizin’
• The hypothesis that was developed based on the
above information is that the mice that are
listening to the classical music will be able to
recall the way out of the maze faster than the
mice who are in the control tank and the ones
that are listening to the country music. This is
also the hypothesis for if the mice are placed into
a makeshift Morris Water Maze, the classical
music listening mice will most definitely have
better times than the other mice.
