Problem 2

 

9.4 t-Test to Compare Two Population Means: Independent Samples (Equal Variances)

A study looked at the relationship between low birth weight and IQ.  A random selection of 17 low birth weight had an average IQ of 95.5 points with a standard deviation of 16.  A random selection of 19 normal birth weight children had an average IQ of 104.9 points with a standard deviation of 14.2.
