Question

Assume IQ’s of adults in a certain country are normally distributed with mean 100 and SD 15. Suppose a president, vice president, and secretary of state are chosen randomly from the adults in the country, with each adult having an equal chance to be assigned each of the 3 jobs. What is the probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
