In Exercises 9鈥12, find the indicated IQ score and round to the nearest whole number. The graphs depict IQ scores of adults, and those scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 (as on the Wechsler IQ test).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The IQ score is 69.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A shaded region is shown in the graph for the standard normal distribution of the IQ scores of adults.

The mean IQ score is 100.

The standard deviation of the IQ score is 15.

The area of the shaded region is 0.9798.

02

State the relationship between area and probability 

The left-tailed area is equal to the cumulative probabilities that are obtained by using the standard normal table (Table A-2) for z scores.

In the case of finding the right-tailed areas, the difference of these cumulative probabilities from 1 gives the required area toward the right of the z score.

03

Obtain the z score corresponding to the IQ score x

Let X represent the IQ score of adults.

The variable X is normally distributed with the mean =100, and the standard deviation is =15.

The area to the right of x is 0.9798.

Mathematically,

PZ>z=0.97981-PZ<z=0.9798PZ<z=0.0202

Using the standard normal table, the area of 0.0202 is observed corresponding to the row value -2 and the column value 0.05. This implies that the z score is -2.05.

Therefore,

PZ>-2.05=0.9798

Thus, the z score corresponding to x is -2.05.

04

Compute the IQ score x

The IQ score is computed as

x-=-2.05x-10015=-2.05x=-2.0515+10069

Thus, the value of x is 69.

Low Birth Weight The University of Maryland Medical Center considers 鈥渓ow birth weights鈥 to be those that are less than 5.5 lb or 2495 g. Birth weights are normally distributed with a mean of 3152.0 g and a standard deviation of 693.4 g (based on Data Set 4 鈥淏irths鈥 in Appendix B).

a. If a birth weight is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is a 鈥渓ow birth weight鈥?

b. Find the weights considered to be significantly low, using the criterion of a birth weight having a probability of 0.05 or less.

c. Compare the results from parts (a) and (b).

Curving Test Scores A professor gives a test and the scores are normally distributed with a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 12. She plans to curve the scores.

a. If she curves by adding 15 to each grade, what is the new mean and standard deviation?

b. Is it fair to curve by adding 15 to each grade? Why or why not?

c. If the grades are curved so that grades of B are given to scores above the bottom 70% and below the top 10%, find the numerical limits for a grade of B.

d. Which method of curving the grades is fairer: adding 15 to each original score or using a scheme like the one given in part (c)? Explain.

Standard normal distribution. In Exercise 17-36, assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. In each case, Draw a graph, then find the probability of the given bone density test score. If using technology instead of Table A-2, round answers to four decimal places.
