Test whether there is significant difference between the frequency distributions for male and female.
Research results suggest that IQ scores for boys are more variable then IQ scores for girls. A typical study looking at 10-year-old children classifies participants by gender and by low, average, or high IQ. Following are hypothetical data representing the research results. Do the data indicate a significant difference between the frequency distributions for male and females? Test at the .05 level of significance and describe the difference.
