what is the result and conclusion?

Expert Solution
Step 1

We set up the,

Null Hypothesis(H0):μx=μy , there is no diffrence between the mean IQ of children who were preschooled and who stayed home.Alternate Hypothesis(H1): μxμy,Where μx and  μy are the mean IQ of the chidren who went to preschool and who stayed home respectively
