IQ Scores. In Exercises 13-20, assume that adults have IQ scores that are
20. Mensa Mensa International calls itself “the international high IQ society,” and it has more than 100,000 members. Mensa states that “candidates for membership of Mensa must achieve a score at or above the 98th percentile on a standard test of intelligence (a score that is greater than that achieved by 98 percent of the general population taking the test).” Find the 98th percentile for the population of Wechsler IQ scores. This is the lowest score meeting the requirement for Mensa membership.
