Computation of intelligence quotient is mental age/chronological age (real age)*100.

Harvey is 8 years old (Chronological age)
4 years old (mental age)

=(4/8)*100
= 0.5*100
=50 intelligence quotient

Based on Binet's scale 70% and below belongs to the cluster of below normal IQ levels and Harvey is included in this cluster.
