a) above 114

z-score = = = 0.75

A z-score of 0.75 is 0.7734. This means 77.34% of patients have an IQ below 114. To find the percentage of people with IQs above 114, subtract this from 1. This result is 22.66%. Therefore, 22.66% of patients have an IQ above 114.

b) between 90 and 118

z-score1 = = = 1.00

A z-score of 1.00 is 0.8413. This means 84.13% of patients have an IQ below 118.

z-score2 = = = -0.75

A z-score of -0.75 is 0.2266. This means 22.66% of patients have an IQ below 90.

To find the percentage of patients with IQs between 90 and 118, subtract 22.66% from 84.13%. This result is 61.47%. Therefore, 61.47% of the patients have an IQ between 90 and 118.
