The widely used Stanford-Binet IQ test has a mean of 100 points and standard deviation of 15 points. Assume that the population of IQ scores on this test are normally distributed. a. The minimum score for entry into Mensa, a group for people with high IQs, is 138. Determine the proportion of this population who are eligible to join Mensa. Round your answer to four decimal places. b. Another high-IQ group known as the Triple Nine Society requires an IQ score at or above the 99.9 th percentile, so that only the top 0.1% of IQ scores in the population are eligible. Determine the minimum IQ score required to join the Triple Nine Society. Round your answer to one decimal place. c. Marilyn vos Savant, author of the "Ask Marilyn" column in Parade magazine, is reported to have an IQ score of 228. How many standard deviations above the mean is this? Round your answer to two decimal places. standard deviations

A developmental psychologist is interested in studying how long babies gaze at a photograph of a human face. To test this question, she shows a picture to a sample of six babies and records the length of their gaze in seconds. The data are as follows: 12, 17, 18, 20, 20, 29. Calculate the mean, median, mode, range, variance and standard deviation for the sample.
Consider the given data set. n = 12 measurements: 9, 8, 1, 5, 5, 7, 5, 6, 8, 7, 2, 0 Find the mean. USE SALT Find the standard deviation. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) z = Find the z-score corresponding to the minimum in the data set. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the z-score corresponding to the maximum in the data set. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) z = Do the z-scores indicate that there are possible outliers in the data set? Since the z-score for the larger observation is larger than 2 in absolute value, the larger value is unusually large. Since both z-scores exceed 2 in absolute value, both of the observations are unusual. Since neither z-score exceeds 2 in absolute value, none of the observations are unusually small or large. Since the z-score for the smaller observation is larger than 2 in absolute value, the smaller value is unusually small.

1. Measure your height and find how many standard deviations you are from 50th percentile using the Anthropometry table in slide 17 in the Anthropometry slides. My height is 5 feet 7 inches. 2. Using this measured stature, estimate the lengths of your forearm, foot, and hand (https://exrx.net/Kinesiology/Segments). 3. Measure your forearm, foot, and hand using a tape measure (or some other device).( forearm= 7inches; foot=10inches; hand=22inches). 4. Indicate the error in %s for each segment (compare measured vs table value), and indicate which if your 3 segments was the furthest off.
