<span>Solution: </span>130 – 100 = 30 which is 2(15). Thus, 130 is 2 standard deviations to the right of the mean. 100 – 70 = 30 which is 2(15). Thus, 70 is 2 standard deviations to the left of the mean. Since 70 to 130 is within 2 standard deviations of the mean, we know that <span>about 95% of the IQ scores would be between 70 and 130.</span>
