Engineering Data Analysis:
IQ scores form a normal distribution with u=100 and σ=15. Individuals with IQs between 90 and 110 are classified as average. What proportion of the population is average?
IQ test scores are standardized to produce a normal distribution with a mean of μ = 100 and a standard deviation of σ =15. Find the proportion of the population in each of the following IQ categories.
Genius or near genius: IQ over 140
Very superior intelligence: IQ from 120–140
Average or normal intelligence: IQ from 90–109

Approximately how many of the adult penguins are 65 and 75 centimeters tall? B.
