Question

You are trying to decide between two schools for your 8-year-old daughter to attend. The Einstein School brags that the average IQ of its students is 125, with a standard deviation of 5.3. The Marie Curie School reports that the average IQ of its students is 125, with a standard deviation of 15.6. If you are most interested in finding a school that has children with diverse abilities, which school would you choose for your daughter?

Answer 1

Answer:

For being most interested in finding a school that has children with diverse abilities, I would choose the Marie Curie School.

Explanation:

• Though it is true that the intelligence quotient is a good determinant of the intelligence of the students, it fails to exhibit the quality of abilities that the students bear in fields other than academics.
• As the standard deviance in IQ of the students of the Marie Curie school is high, it can be said that there is a possibility of more students being good at co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
