Rachel Mccormick · Answer 1

The correct answer is:

B) Her IQ score is above the majority of the population.

Explanation:

Normally in the IQ test the mental and chronological ages of the individual are involved. The IQ test takes into account the mental age and the chronological age computing them and multiplying by 100. In case that the mental and chronological ages result to be the same it is considered according the IQ test to be the average, when the mental age is above the other variable it results to be above the majority of population as in the Georgias' case.
