IQ scores for boys and girls (These data were collected by a researcher at Purdue University. Treat these data as simple random samples from all seventh-grade students in the district)

Q: Here are IQ test scores of 31 seventh-grade girls in a Midwest school district.

114          100          104          89          102          91          114          114         103        105

108          130          120          132          111          128          118          119        86         72

111          103           74           112          107           103          98             96        112     112

                                                                                                                                 93

The IQ test scores of the 47 seventh-grade boys in the same district are:

111        107        100        107        115        111        97        112        104        106        113

109        113        128        128        118        113        124        127        136      106       123

124        126        116        127        119         97        102        110        120        103       115

  93        123         79        119        110        110        107        105       105        110          77

  90        114        106

a). Find the mean IQ scores for girls and for boys. It is common for boys to have somewhat higher scores on standardized tests. It that true?

b). Compute 95% T intervals of the Girls' IQ's and the Boys' IQ's and explain what these intervals mean.

c). Make a histogram for each set of data to determine whether each distribution is reasonably symmetric with no outliers. If this is so, we can use t- procedures-do your histograms indicate that we can use t-procedures?

d). Give a 90% 2-Sample T interval confidence for the mean difference between the mean IQ scores for all boys and girls in the district. Then explain what this interval means.
