Human IQ scores are approximately normally distributed with the mean 100 and standard deviation 15. determine the minimum iq scores for the top 5 % of the population
-----------------------------
Find the z-score with a left tail of 0.95
----
invNorm(0.95) = 1.645
----
Find the corresponding x-score using x = zs +u
---
x = 1.645(15) = 100
---
x = 124.675
