On average is the younger sibling's IQ different from the older sibling's IQ? Ten sibling pairs were given IQ tests. The data are shown below. IQ Scores Younger Sibling 103 95 107 103 107 98 116 109 110 95 Older Sibling 100 92 105 95 94 96 111 96 117 83 Assume a Normal distribution. What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.10 level of significance? For this study, we should use Select an answer t-test for the difference between two independent population means z-test for a population proportion z-test for the difference between two population proportions t-test for the difference between two dependent population means t-test for a population mean The null and alternative hypotheses would be:

For this study, we should use Select an answer t-test for the difference between two independent population means z-test for a population proportion z-test for the difference between two population proportions t-test for the difference between two dependent population means t-test for a population
- The null and alternative hypotheses would be:
H0:H0: Select an answer p1 μ1 μd ? > ≠ < = Select an answer μ2 p2 0 (please enter a decimal)
H1:H1: Select an answer μ1 μd p1 ? < ≠ > = Select an answer p2 0 μ2 (Please enter a decimal)
- The test statistic ? z t = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
- The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
- The p-value is ? > ≤ αα
- Based on this, we should Select an answer fail to reject accept reject the null hypothesis.
- Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
- The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.10, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean IQ score for younger siblings is equal to the population mean IQ score for older siblings.
- The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean IQ score for younger siblings is not the same as the population mean IQ score for older siblings
- The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.10, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean IQ score for younger siblings is not the same as the population mean IQ score for older siblings.
- The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the ten younger siblings' IQ scores are not the same on average than the ten older siblings' IQ scores.
- Interpret the p-value in the context of the study.
- There is a 2.36% chance of a Type I error.
- There is a 2.36% chance that the mean IQ score for the 10 younger siblings differs by at least 5.4 points from the mean IQ score for the 10 older siblings.
- If the sample mean IQ score for the 10 younger siblings is the same as the sample mean IQ score for the 10 older siblings and if another 10 sibling pairs are given an IQ test then there would be a 2.36% chance of concluding that the mean IQ score for the 10 younger siblings differs by at least 5.4 points from the mean IQ score for the 10 older siblings.
- If the population mean IQ score for younger siblings is the same as the population mean IQ score for older siblings and if another 10 sibling pairs are given an IQ test then there would be a 2.36% chance that the mean IQ score for the 10 younger siblings would differ by at least 5.4 points from the mean IQ score for the 10 older siblings.
- Interpret the level of significance in the context of the study.
- If the population mean IQ score for younger siblings is the same as the population mean IQ score for older siblings and if another 10 sibling pairs are given an IQ test, then there would be a 10% chance that we would end up falsely concuding that the sample mean IQ scores for these 10 sibling pairs differ from each other.
- If the population mean IQ score for younger siblings is the same as the population mean IQ score for older siblings and if another 10 sibling pairs are given an IQ test, then there would be a 10% chance that we would end up falsely concuding that the population mean IQ score for younger siblings is not the same as the population mean IQ score for older siblings
- There is a 10% chance that you are so much smarter than your sibling that there is no need to take an IQ test to make a comparison.
- There is a 10% chance that the population mean IQ score is the same for younger and older siblings.
