If IQ tests have a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15, what proportion of the population have
\n" ); document.write( "a) an IQ greater than 120,
\n" ); document.write( "z(120) = (120-100)/15 = 20/15 = 4/3
\n" ); document.write( "Prop above 120 = P(z > 4/3) = 0.0912
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "b) an IQ less than 70?
\n" ); document.write( "z(70) = (70-100)/15 = -2
\n" ); document.write( "Prop below 70 = P(z < -2) = 0.0228
