State the null hypotheses b. State the design requirements and assumptions c. State the decision rule d. Calculate the value of the of the tests statistic and make a decision e. State the conclusion f. Calculate and interpret effect size if appropriate
Age at the time of death
>60 60 to 75 > 75
IQ<110 41 63 36
