Answer:

The percentile that corresponds to an IQ score of 115 is 34.13 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the percentile that corresponds to an IQ score of 115.

To calculate this percentile, we start with making observations. From the question, we are told that the mean score is 100 while the standard deviation is 15.

Now we want to find the percentile for a score if 115. For a score of 115, we can see that the difference between this score and the mean is 15 which is exactly equal to the standard deviation.

What this means is that the score is within +1 SD of the mean.

For a score of within +1 SD of the mean, the percentile is 34.13%

A score at the mean is the 50th percentile, a score which is 1 SD above or below the mean has a percentile value of 34.13%

Please, I will like you to check the attachment to see how percentiles are valued given the number of standard deviations a particular value is from the mean.

Which calculation will ALWAYS give a result greater than 1? A.5 × a number less than 1 B.4/9+ a fraction less than 12 C. 1 3/4 -
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

  C.  1 3/4 - (a fraction less than 3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Your number sense should be able to help you with this one.

A. 5 × 1/10 = 1/2, not a number greater than 1

B. 4/9 + 1/3 = 7/9, not a number greater than 1

C. 1 3/4 -1/2 = 1 1/4, a number greater than 1 (see below for more explanation)

D. 7/8 × 1/2 = 7/16, not a number greater than 1.

__

<em>More explanation</em>

Let x represent a number less than 3/4. Then we want to make sure that ...

  y = 1 3/4 - x

will be greater than 1.

Solving for x, we get ...

  x = 1 3/4 - y

Applying the requirement that x < 3/4, we have ...

  x < 3/4

  (1 3/4 -y) < 3/4

  1 3/4 < y + 3/4 . . . . . . add y

  1 < y . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3/4

We see that the condition on x makes sure that y is always greater than 1.
