If a teenager is randomly selected what is the probability his insurance will be between $1440 and $2100 a year? b. How much does a teenager pay per month, if the price corresponds with a z score of 2.5? 18. The Stanford-Binet, used to test IQ’s, is a standardized test, meaning that norms were established during the design phase of the test by administering the test to a large, representative sample of the test population. The test has a mean, or average, standard score of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Assume the distribution is normal. Membership into Mensa requires a minimum score of 132. a.
