Question 1106625: 2- Mensa, the international high-IQ society, accepts members that are in the upper 2% of the population. Given that IQ is distributed normally with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, what score must one have to qualify for Mensa? Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 98% or 0.98 of the population scores below the upper 2% level
:
z-value for 98% is 2.05
:
2.05 = ( X - 100 ) / 15
:
X - 100 = 2.05 * 15 = 30.75
:
X = 130.75 approximately 131
