(a) The distribution of X is N (100, 15²).

(b) The probability that a person has an IQ greater than 130 is 0.0228.

(c) The minimum IQ needed to qualify for the Mensa organization is 131.

(d) The middle 20% of IQs fall between 96 and 104.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the IQ of an individual.

(a)

The random variable X is normally distributed with mean, μ = 100 and standard deviation, σ = 15.

The probability density function of X is:

Thus, the distribution of X is N (100, 15²).

(b)

Compute the probability that a person has an IQ greater than 130 as follows:

Thus, the probability that a person has an IQ greater than 130 is 0.0228.

(c)

Let x represents the top 2% of all IQs.

Then, P (X > x) = 0.02.

⇒ P (X < x) = 1 - 0.02

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.98

The value of z is:

z = 2.06.

Compute the value of x as follows:

Thus, the minimum IQ needed to qualify for the Mensa organization is 131.

(d)

Let x₁ and x₂ be the values between which middle 20% of IQs fall.

This implies that:

The value of z is:

z = 0.26.

Compute the value of x as follows:

Thus, the middle 20% of IQs fall between 96 and 104.
