### Probability and Statistics Practice Problem

On a planet far far away from Earth, the IQ of the ruling species is normally distributed with a mean of 102 and a standard deviation of 18. Suppose one individual is randomly chosen. Let \( X \) = IQ of an individual.

#### Questions:

a. **What is the distribution of \( X \)?**  
   \( X \sim N(\mu, \sigma^2) \)  
   \( X \sim N( \_\_\_\_ , \_\_\_\_ ) \)  

b. **Find the probability that a randomly selected person's IQ is over 84.**  
   \(\_\_\_\_\_)  
   *Round your answer to 4 decimal places.*

c. **A school offers special services for all children in the bottom 6% for IQ scores. What is the highest IQ score a child can have and still receive special services?**  
   \(\_\_\_\_\_)  
   *Round your answer to 2 decimal places.*

d. **Find the Interquartile Range (IQR) for IQ scores.**  
   *Round your answers to 2 decimal places.*

   - **Q1:** \(\_\_\_\_\_)
   - **Q3:** \(\_\_\_\_\_)
   - **IQR:** \(\_\_\_\_\_)
