| Question 1 |
| In "Born Together - Reared Apart", Nancy Segal discusses the efforts of research psychologists at |
| the University of Minnesota to understand similarities and differences between twins by studying |
| sets of twins who were raised seperately. Below are critical reading SAT scores for several pairs of |
| identical twins (twins who share all their genes), one of which who was raised in a family with no other |
| children (no siblings) and one of whom was raised in a family with other children (with siblings). |

| What is the mean difference between the critical reading SAT scores for the twins |
| raised with no siblings and the twins raised with siblings? |
| Provide a 90% confidence interval estimate for the mean differences between the |
| critical reading SAT scores for twins raised with no siblings and the twins raised with siblings. |
| Conduct a hypothesis test of equality of the critical reading SAT scores for the twins raised |
| with no siblings and the twins raised with siblings at ά = .01. What is your conclusion? |
