question 28

Essay

IQ scores are normally distributed with an average of 100 and a standard deviation of 16. Some research suggests that left-handed individuals have a higher IQ score than right-handed individuals. To test this hypothesis, a researcher randomly selects 132 individuals and finds that their average IQ is 103.2 with a sample standard deviation of 14.6. Using the results from the sample, can you reject the null hypothesis that left-handed people have an IQ of 100 vs. the alternative that they have a higher IQ? What critical value should you choose if the size of the test is 5%?
