Mandy has an IQ of 115. We know that the mean () IQ is 100 with a standard deviation of 15. There are 100 people in Mandy’s Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Taken at random, how many members are smarter than Mandy

Respuesta :

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean : [tex]\mu=100[/tex]

Standard deviation : [tex]\sigma =15[/tex]

The value of z-score is given by :-

[tex]z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

For x= 115

[tex]z=\dfrac{115-100}{15}=1[/tex]

The p-value : [tex]P(z>1)=1-P(z<1)=1- 0.8413447=0.1586553[/tex]

Now, the number of people smarter than Many is given by :_

[tex]100\times0.1586553=15.86553\approx16[/tex]

Hence, there are 16 members smarter than Mandy.
