a. how many have an IQ between 85 and 115? z(115) = (115-100)/15 = 1 z(85) = (85-100)/15 = -1 We need to consult Z-table to find P value with this Z value P(85< x < 115) = P(-1< z < 1) = 0.6827 Quantity of people of 1500 that have IQ between 85 and 115 = 0.6827*1500 ~ 1024
b. how many have an IQ between 70 and 130? z(115) = (130-100)/15 = 2 z(85) = (70-100)/15 = -2 P(-2< z < 2) = 0.6827 # of 1500 that have IQ between 70 and 130 = 0.6827*1500 ~ 1024
c. how many have an IQ over 145? Z(>145)=( 145-100)/15=3
