Scores on IQ tests are normally distributed, with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. What is the score such that 10 percent of people taking the test achieve a higher score

Answer :

Answer:

103.75 score

Step-by-step explanation:

10 % scored higher than the mean?

 50% is the mean %   so we need to look for the z score corresponding to 60 %    from z-score table   this is z-score of   .25

.25 standard deviations (which is 15)   above 100 =

    .25  * 15       +   100 = 103.75   score
