Question

Transcribed Image Text:22. In an extensive study involving thousands of
British children, Arden and Plomin (2006) found
significantly higher variance in the intelligence
scores for males than for females. Following age
hypothetical data, similar to the results obtained
in the study. Note that the scores are not regular
1Q scores but have been standardized so that
the entire sabnple has a mean of M 10 and
a standard deviation of s 2.
a. Calculate the mean and the standard deviation for
the sample of n 8 females and for the sample of
n 8 males.
b. Based on the means and the standard deviations,
describe the differences in intelligence scores for
males and females.

Find the z-score corresponding to the maximum in the data set. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) z = Do the z-scores indicate that there are possible outliers in the data set? Since the z-score for the larger observation is larger than 2 in absolute value, the larger value is unusually large. Since both z-scores exceed 2 in absolute value, both of the observations are unusual. Since neither z-score exceeds 2 in absolute value, none of the observations are unusually small or large. Since the z-score for the smaller observation is larger than 2 in absolute value, the smaller value is unusually small.arrow_forwardUse the sample data set to evaluate each of the steps in determining the sample standard deviation 23 20 14 35 28 Give an exact answer, not an approximation, for each step except the standard deviation. round the standard deviation to the nearest hundredth.. = = variance, s2 = standard deviation, s =arrow_forwardThe frequency distribution was obtained using a class width of 0.5 for data on cigarette tax rates.
