A researcher believes that men have better spatial perception ability than women. He gathered 22 men and 20 women and assessed their spatial perception ability with a test scored on a scale of 0 – 100 (higher scores mean better spatial perception ability). The mean spatial perception ability for men was 95 with a standard deviation of 9. The average spatial perception ability for women was 88 with a standard d

Question

A researcher believes that men have better spatial perception ability than women. He gathered 22 men and 20 women and assessed their spatial perception ability with a test scored on a scale of 0 – 100 (higher scores mean better spatial perception ability). The mean spatial perception ability for men was 95 with a standard deviation of 9. The average spatial perception ability for women was 88 with a standard deviation of 11.
