The inferotemporal cortex (IT) plays an important role in visual object discrimination in human and non-human primates. A researcher knows that macaque monkeys can learn an object discrimination task in 20 trials, on average. The distribution of learning times is normal with a standard deviation of σ = 6.2 trials. A surgical intervention makes it possible to deactivate IT temporarily, and the researcher believes that doing so will lead to longer learning times. A random sample of 25 adult male macaques underwent this procedure. Following recovery, the monkeys learned the object discrimination task while IT was deactivated, and the mean number of trials to learn the task was m = 28.339 trials. Compute the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval around then estimated effect size (i.e., estimate of ?). Please give the solution to this question and give the answer to 4 decimal places
