A person must score in the upper of the population on an IQ test to qualify for membership in Mensa, the international high-IQ society. If IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of and a standard deviation of , what score must a person have to qualify for Mensa (to whole number)

The person must score at least , in which Z has a p-value of , considering p the upper percentage the person must score, is the mean IQ score for the population and is the standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Mean , standard deviation

What score must a person have to qualify for Mensa?

Score of at least X, given by:

In which Z has a p-value of , considering p the upper percentage the person must score.

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:
