Scores of an IQ test have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 17. Use the empirical rule to determine the following. (a) What percentage of people has an IQ score between 66 and 134? (b) What percentage of people has an IQ score less than 83 or greater than 117? (c) What percentage of people has an IQ score greater than 117? (a) 95% (Type an integer or a decimal.) (b) (Type an integer or a decimal.)

(a) 95% of people have an IQ score between 66 and 134.

(b) 32% of people have an IQ score of less than 83 or greater than 117.

(c) 16% of people have an IQ score greater than 117.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that scores of an IQ test have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 17.

Let X = scores of an IQ test

SO, X ~ Normal()

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                      Z  =    ~ N(0,1)

Now, the empirical rule states that;

(a) The percentage of people having an IQ score between 66 and 134 is given by;

     z score for 66 =    =    = -2

     z score for 134 =    =    = 2

This means that the percentage of people having an IQ score between 66 and 134 is 95%.

(b) Firstly, we have to find the percentage of people having an IQ score between 83 and 117;

     z score for 83 =    =    = -1

     z score for 117 =    =    = 1

This means that the percentage of people having an IQ score between 83 and 117 is 68%.

This means that the percentage of people having an IQ score of less than 83 or greater than 117 = 100% - 68% = 32%.

(c) In the above part, we find that there are 32% of the values that have an IQ score of less than 83 or greater than 117.

This means that half of this will be less than 83 and half of this will be greater than 117.

So, the percentage of people having an IQ score greater than 117 = = 16%.

the final price would be 29.6925

step-by-step explanation:

39.59 minus 25% equals 29.6925
