Hope, a 5 year old, told her mother, a who is a psychologist, that she had a stomach ache. Hope’s mother suspected that Hope’s stomach ache was likely the result of anxiety rather than an illness.

Sandra score an 85 on an IQ test, specifically the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. Based on her score, what percentage of the population has an IQ score lower than Sandra? _______%    (1 points) (only provide a whole NUMBER to be considered for bonus points – do NOT include any special characters (i.e.,%) _______ Marco was administered the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and score a 130. Based on this score and knowing the properties of a normal distribution, Marco’s IQ is higher than ____ percent of the population. (1 point) (Again use numbers only for bonus points consideration – however, you may include decimal value to one decimal place) _______ Erika recently took a biology exam. The mean was a 70 and the standard deviation was 8. Erika scored a 50. Assuming scores fall on a normal distribution, express Erika’s score as standard score, according to the standard normal curve (this is also referred to as a Z-score).  Note that you need to denote direction (+/-)and incorporate a decimal point – do not leave extra spaces. For example, you would enter +1.2 if that was the answer. _______
