Answer:
Approximately 68% of people have IQs between 84 and 116.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule 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.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean of 100, standard deviation of 16.
Percentage of people with IQs between 84 and 116.
84 = 100 - 16
116 = 100 + 16
So within 1 standard deviation of the mean, which, by the Empirical Rule, is approximately 68%.
