In need of a tutor, not confident I understand how to complete practice task. Please help
In a classic study examining the relationship between heredity and intelligence, Robert Tryon
(1940) used a selective breeding program to develop separate strains of "smart rats" and "dumb
rats". Tryon started with a large sample of lab rats and tested each animal on a maze-learning
problem. Based on their error scores for the maze, Tryon selected the brightest rats and the
dullest rats from the sample. The brightest males were mated with the brightest females.
Similarly, the dullest rats were interbred. This process of testing and selective breeding was
continued for several generations until Tryon had established a line of maze-bright rats and a
separate line of maze-dull rats. The following data represents results similar to those obtained
by Tryon. The data consist of maze-learning error scores for the original sample of lab rats and
the seventh generation of maze-bright rats.

Sketch in 1 graph not two, a polygon showing the distribution of error scores for the sample of original rats. On the same graph, sketch a polygon for the sample of maze- bright rats. (Use two different colors or use a dashed line for one group and a solid line
for the other group.) Based on the graph, describe the differences between the two
samples. (Ch. 2)
8. Calculate the mean error score for each sample. Does the mean difference support
your description from #7? Interpret your results in complete sentences. (Ch.3)
9. Calculate the variance and standard deviation for each sample. Based on the
measures of dispersion or variability, Is one group more diverse than the other? Is one
group more homogeneous that the other? Interpret your results. (Ch. 4)
10. Find the Q1, Median, Q3, IQR for each sample. (Ch. 4)
