IQ scores for boys and girls. Here are the 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 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) How many variables are there? Classify them. There are 2 variables in this study, IQ and gender. IQ is quantitative discrete, and gender is qualitative nominal. (b) Describe the distribution of IQ scores for all students. Girls: - Mean: 105.8387 - Min: 72.00 - Q1: 98.000 - Median: 107.00 - Q3: 114.0000 - Max: 132.00 - Range: 60.00 - Standard Deviation: 14.2714 - IQR: 16.00 - Shape: skewed to left Boys: - Mean: 110.9574 - Min: 77.00 - Q1: 105.0000 - Median: 111 - Q3: 119.000 - Max: 136.00 - Range: 59.00 1
- Standard Deviation: 12.1207 - IQR: 14.00 - Shape: skewed to left Overall Outliers: 72.00, 74.00, 77.00, 79.00 (c) Compare and contrast the distribution of IQ scores by gender, using numerical and graphical summaries. For starters, looking at the data, the data set for males is ⅓ bigger than the females, having 47 samples compared to the 31 samples the women has for IQ. This explains why the standard deviation for males is 12.1207 while the females is 14.2714. It is clear in the graph that the males data is a smaller variance as the data tends to cluster closer to one spot while the females is a bit more spread out and is less steady. The male’s graph appears to have a 2
bell-shaped curve while the female graph appears to have a more bimodal shape but both numerically are skewed to the left as the median is greater than the mean. The mean has a bit more of a gap as the average IQ for females measured at 105.8387 and the males measured at 110.9574. (d) Build a 90%, 95% and a 99% CIs for the average IQ score for all seventh-grade girls in this Midwest district. 90%: (101.4883, 110.1892) 95%: (100.6039, 111.0735) 99%: (98.7899, 112.8876) (e) Compare and contrast the three CIs in (d) As the number for the confidence increases in percentage the range gets larger. For example, a 90% CI has a narrower range than a 99% CI which clearly has a rider range. (f) Can we conclude based on the CIs that the average IQ score for all seventh-grade girls in this Midwest district is more than 100? Justify your answer. No, because in the 99th percentile the range starts from 98.7899 indicating that some girls from the district got a lower score than a 100 on the IQ test. (g) Repeat (d) but for the seventh-grade boys. 90%: (107.9896, 113.9253) 95%: (107.3987, 114.5162) 99%: (106.2068, 115.708) (h) Compare and contrast the 90% CI of the boys with that of the girls. The boys' margin for error is smaller than the girls’. The boys’ 90% CI starts higher at 107.9896, whereas the girls’ 90% CI begins at 101.4883. The boys’ 90% CI also ends higher at 113.9253, compared to the girls 90% CI which ends at 110.1892. Since the boys’ data has more inputs, the outliers affect the CI less allowing for the boy’s to have a more narrow range compared to the females. (i) Estimate the proportion of students with IQ more than 105 in two ways: a point estimate and an interval estimate using a 90% CI. Point estimate: 0.654 Interval Estimate: (0.56524, 0.74245) 3
