Lindsay's IQ score is likely to be: a. higher then her sister's score b. the same as her sister's score c. lower then her sister's score d. one standard deviation lower than her sister's score

Answer 1

A. Higher than her sister's score

Step-by-step explanation:

Social and economic stress leads a child to less IQ level than a privileged child. It's because they have low opportunities to learn and grow, they struggle from the childhood and may have little or no access to education. Meanwhile a child in privileged family doesn't face difficulties and they get education from much advanced institutes.
