Question:
Research results indicate that physically attractive people are also perceived as being more intelligent (Eagly, Ashmore, Makhjani, & Longo, 1991). As a demonstration of this phenomenon, a researcher obtained a set of 10 photographs, 5 showing men who were judged to be attractive and 5 showing men who were judged to be unattractive. The photographs were shown to a sample of n = 25 college students and the students were asked to rate the intelligence of the person in the photo on a scale from 1 to 10. For each student, the researcher determined the average rating for the 5 attractive photos and the average for the 5 unattractive photos. The collected data are presented below.
Attractive Averages: | 6 | 8 | 6 | 7 | 7 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 7 | 7 | 8 | 7 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 8 | 8 | 6 | 6 | 10 | 7 | 8 | 8 | 7 | 8 |
Unattractive Averages: | 4 | 4 | 3 | 6 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 5 | 2 | 6 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
Test whether attractive individuals were rated more intelligent than unattractive individuals. Use = .05.

After running the t-test, create graphs to show the means and standard errors of both conditions. Please include a title that makes the graph easy to understand.
