Question 978628: Assume the IQ score of the students at your university are normally distributed with µ = 115 and Ơ = 8. If you randomly sample one score from this distribution, what is the probability it will be
a. Higher than 130?
b. Between 110 and 125?
c. Lower than 100?

z=(x-mean)/sd
=(130-115)/8 =1.875
Probability z>1.875 (should be small): 0.0304
Similarly the next one is z between (-.625 and +1.125), as it is -5/8 and +10/8
That should be fairly large, and it is 0.6037
Lower than 100 is -1.875 for z, and that is the same as being greater than 130, or 0.0304
