Question:

An international team of economists investigated the possible link between IQ and birth order in CESifo Economic Studies (Vol. 57, 2011). The data source for the research was the Medical Birth Registry of Norway. It is known that the mean IQ (measured in stanines) for all Norway residents is 5.2 points. In the study, a sample of 581 Norway residents who were the 6th-born or later in their families had a mean IQ score of 4.7 points with a standard deviation of 1.8 points. Is this sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean IQ score of all Norway residents who were the 6th-born or later in their families is lower than the country mean of 5.2 points? Use a = .01 as a measure of reliability for your inference
