First-born children tend to develop language skills faster than their younger siblings. One possible explanation is that they have undivided attention from their parents. If this is correct, then triplets should be slower. The following hypothetical data demonstrate potential measure of language skill from such a study. Do the data indicate significant differences? Show all work.
Single Child: 8, 7, 10, 6, 9
Triplet: 4, 4, 7, 2, 3
