41 Problem 21 (page 242) A person must score in the upper 2% of the population on an IQ test to qualify for membership in MENSA, the international high-iq society. If IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, what score must a person have to qualify for MENSA?. MATH 214 (NOTES) p. 41/11

42 Problem 21 (solution) 1. State the problem. Let X = IQ score of a randomly selected person. We want to find the IQ score x with area 0.02 to its right under the Normal curve with mean µ = 100 and standard deviation σ = 15. That s the same as finding the IQ score x with area 0.98 to its left. Because our table gives the areas to the left of z-values, always state the problem in terms of the area to the left of x. MATH 214 (NOTES) p. 42/11

43 Solution (cont.) 2. Use the table. Look in the body of our table for the entry closest to It is This is the entry corresponding to z = So z = 2.05 is the standardized value with area 0.98 to its left. 3. Unstandardize to transform the solution from the Z back to the original X scale. We know that the standardized value of the unknown x is z = So x itself satisfies: x = Solving this equation for x gives: x = (2.05)(15) = We see that a person must score at least (131 perhaps) to place in the highest 2%.

46 Standard Normal Distribution (again) The Standard Normal Distribution is the Normal Distribution N(0, 1) with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.
