  1. IQ is normally distributed with a mean of 100 (SD = 15). Calculate z-scores for the following:
    1. An individual who scores 117.
      1. What percent of scores are below 117?
    2. An individual who scores 90.
      1. What percent of scores are above 90?
    3. An individual who scores 151.
      1. What percent of scores are above 151?
    4. What percent of scores are between IQs of 84 – 103?

 

  1. IQ is normally distributed with a mean of 100 (SD = 15).
