Description

How strong is the evidence that the distributions of 2005 annual incomes differ in the four populations? By how many dollars or by what percent does the distribution of 2005 incomes for those within the highest (fourth) quartile of IQ test scores exceed the distribution for the lowest (first) quartile?
