You can put this solution on YOUR website! Scores on the Standford-Binet Intelligence scale have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 16, and are presumed to be normally distributed. A person who scores 84 on this scale has what percentile rank within the population?
----
z(84) = (84-100)/16 = -1
---
P(x < 84) = P(z < -1) = 0.1587
----
So 15.87% of the population has a score less than 84.
---
The person has percentile score of 15.87%ile or 16%ile if you found up.
