Respuesta :

The IQ test scores are Normally distributed with mean 100 and standard deviation 15.

Let X be the IQ test score of person.

We have to find the probability that person would score between 85 and 115 is

P(85 < X < 115) = [tex] P(\frac{85-100}{15} < \frac{x-mean}{standard deviation} < \frac{115-100}{15} ) [/tex]

= P(-1 < Z < 1)

= P(Z < 1) - P(Z < -1)

= 0.8413 - 0.1587

P(85 < X < 115) = 0.6826

The probability that a person would score between 85 and 115 is 0.6826
