Assume that Thomas is a new student in a similar school system to those we’ve talked about in our previous examples, which has classes for gifted and learning-disabled students and uses an IQ test with: µ = 100 and σ = 15.
Thomas needs to be tested to see if he is significantly different from normal. Using a
z-test for scores, test at (symbol for level of significance) = .05
Thomas gets an 86 on the IQ test.
Interpret your conclusion.
a. Thomas' IQ is not significantly lower than average.
b. Thomas' IQ is significantly different from average.
c. Thomas' IQ is significantly lower than average.
d. Thomas' IQ is not significantly different from average.
