The distribution of the IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is approximately normal in shape with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. According to the standard deviation rule, what range of IQ scores do many (68%) people have

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Standard Deviation Rule states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean . The empirical rule is further illustrated below

68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean.

95% fall within two standard deviations.

99.7% fall within three standard deviations.

The distribution of the IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is approximately normal in shape with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

Therefore, the range of IQ scores that many (68%) people have is between

100 - 15 and 100 + 15

It becomes

85 to 115

The range of  IQ scores for 68% of the people varies from 85  to 115

Given that the distribution of IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is approximately normal in shape

[tex]\rm Mean\; IQ =\mu = 100 \\Standard\; deviation = \sigma = 15[/tex]

According to the empirical relation for normal curve 68% of the data lies in the range

[tex]\rm \mu + \sigma\; to \; \mu - \sigma[/tex]

So the  lower limit of the range of  the normal distribution of IQ score  = 100 -15 = 85

The upper limit of the range of the normal distribution of IQ score  = 100 + 15 = 115

So we can conclude that the range of  IQ scores for 68% of the people varies from 85  to 115
