Expert Solution

We need to check the claim that the first born children are more intelligent.
Here, the independent variable is the Birth Order and the dependent variable is the FIQ: Full-scale IQ.

We have two independent groups here, those who were born first and second i.e Birth order = 1 and 2
Hence, we will use the independent samples t-test.

mu1 is the mean IQ of children born first and mu2 for born second

Ho: mu1 <= mu2
Ha: mu1 > mu2

We will use the one sided t-test (right-tailed)

I. Correct option: A)

II. We have the following sampling data:

FIQ (Order = 1)	FIQ (Order = 2)
96	101
88	93
85	94
97	114
124	113
96	89
87	87
101	103
103	96
127	126

Let's conduct the t-test in Excel or any other software of your choice.

In excel, go to data -> data analysis -> independent sample t-test assuming equal variances -> Select the data -> Click OK

The results are:

t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances

	FIQ (Order = 1)	FIQ (Order = 2)
Mean	100.4	101.6
Variance	210.2666667	157.3777778
Observations	10	10
Pooled Variance	183.8222222
Hypothesized Mean Difference	0
df	18
t Stat	-0.197909774
P(T<=t) one-tail	0.422666778
t Critical one-tail	1.734063607
P(T<=t) two-tail	0.845333556
t Critical two-tail	2.10092204

p-value (one-tailed) = 0.423

We fail to reject the null hypothesis as the p-value > 0.05, the test is deemed to be inconclusive.

Correct option: c. Since P-value is too large the test is inconclusive.

III. Conclusion: B. No, we cannot confirm the assertion.
