Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that the proportion of people in a population with IQ scores between 80 and 140 is of 0.95 = 95%.

<h3>What does the Empirical Rule state?</h3>

It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

  • Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
  • Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of  the mean.
  • Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Considering the mean of 110 and the standard deviation of 15, we have that:

  • 80 = 110 - 2 x 15.
  • 140 = 110 + 2 x 15.

These values are both the most extreme within 2 standard deviations of the mean, hence the proportion of people in a population with IQ scores between 80 and 140 is of 0.95 = 95%.
