Question 1133522: Suppose that IQ scores have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 97
97and a standard deviation of 12. Using the empirical rule, what percentage of IQ scores are greater than 133?

(133 - 97)/12 = 3 standard deviations
:
The 68-95-99.7 rule tells us that 68% of a Normal Distribution can be found within 1 standard deviation, 95% can be found within 2 standard deviations and 99.7% can be found within 3 standard deviations
:
Therefore, 100 - 99.7 = 0.3% of IQ scores are greater than 133
