Answer:

IQ scores of at least 130.81 are identified with the upper 2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

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

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

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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.

Mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

This means that \mu = 100, \sigma = 15

What IQ score is identified with the upper 2%?

IQ scores of at least the 100 - 2 = 98th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.98, so X when Z = 2.054.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

2.054 = \frac{X - 100}{15}

X - 100 = 15*2.054

X = 130.81

IQ scores of at least 130.81 are identified with the upper 2%.
