Practise Questions 2
, 1) If the average IQ is 100 and the standard deviation is 15, approximately what
percentage of people have IQs above 130?
10%
2.5%
CORRECT
5%
50%
130 is two standard deviations above the mean (130-100=30=2*15=2*stdev). We know
that approximately 95% of the distribution is within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
Therefore 5% must fall beyond 2 standard deviations, 2.5% at the top and 2.5% at the
bottom.
2) If a particular standardized test has a mean score of 500 and standard deviation
of 100, what percentage of test-takers score between 500 and 600?
95%
68%
34%
CORRECT
50%
100 is one standard deviation above the mean (600-500 =100= 1*100 = 1*stdev). We
know that approximately 68% of the distribution is within 1 standard deviation of the
mean. Therefore 34% must fall beyond 1 standard deviation above the mean.
3)
Recall that the z-value associated with a value measures the number of standard
deviations the value is from the mean. If a particular standardized test has an average
score of 500 and a standard deviation of 100, what z-value corresponds to a score of
350?
-150
-1.50
CORRECT
