b. If we consider "usual IQ scores to be those that convert z scores between -2 and 2, is Einstein's IQ usual or
unusual?
C.
The organization MENSA, which calls itself the "high IQ society", requires a score of 130 or higher. What
percent of adults would qualify for membership?
2. In a recent study on world happiness, participants were asked to evaluate their current lives on a scale from 0 to
10, where 0 represents the worst possible life and 10 represents the best possible life. The responses were normally
distributed, with a mean of 5.4 and a standard deviation of 2.2.

b. Between 4 and 6
c. More than 8
3. The red blood cell count for a population of adult males can be approximated by a normal distribution, with a
mean of 5.4 million cells per microliter and a standard deviation of 0.4 million cells per microliter.
a. What is the minimum red blood cell count that can be in the top 25% of counts?
b. What is the maximum red blood cell count that can be in the bottom 15% of counts?
