Answer :
To determine how many of the 8-year-old children are considered "gifted" based on the traditional definition, we need to look at the standard IQ threshold for being classified as gifted. Typically, an IQ of 130 or above is considered gifted.
Let's review the IQ scores of each child and see if they meet this threshold:
1. Darcy: IQ = 100
- Darcy's IQ of 100 is below the gifted threshold of 130. Therefore, Darcy is not considered gifted.
2. Peggy: IQ = 120
- Peggy's IQ of 120 is also below 130, so Peggy is not considered gifted.
3. Kelly: IQ = 140
- Kelly's IQ of 140 is above the threshold of 130. Kelly is considered gifted.
4. A. I. H.: IQ = 160
- A. I. H.'s IQ of 160 is well above 130, meaning A. I. H. is considered gifted.
Now, let's count the number of children who are considered gifted:
- Kelly and A. I. H. have IQs that meet or exceed the threshold of 130.
In conclusion, 2 out of the 4 children are considered gifted.
