Question

In a study of birth order and intelligence, IQ tests were given to

18

- and 

19

-year-old men to estimate the size of the difference, if any, between the mean IQs of firstborn sons and secondborn sons. The following data for 

10

 firstborn sons and 

10

 secondborn sons are consistent with the means and standard deviations reported in the article. It is reasonable to assume that the samples come from populations that are approximately normal. Can you conclude that the mean IQ of firstborn sons is greater than the mean IQ of secondborn sons? Let 

μ1

 denote the mean IQ of firstborn sons and 

μ2

denote the mean IQ of secondborn sons. Use the 

=α0.10

 level and the 

P -value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.
