People are given a maximum of six hours to complete a puzzle. The time spent on the puzzle, in hours, can be modelled using the continuous random variable
The graph of the probability density function is shown below. The graph has a local maximum.

- The Intelligence Quotient (IQ) scores of people are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15.
- It has been observed that the puzzle is generally completed more quickly by people with a high IQ.
- It is known that 80% of people with an IQ greater than 130 can complete the puzzle in less than two hours.
- A person chosen at random can complete the puzzle in less than two hours.
- What is the probability that this person has an IQ greater than 130? Give your answer correct to three decimal places. (2 marks)
