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
The table below shows the frequency distribution of the rainfall on 52 consecutive Wednesdays in a certain city. use the frequency distribution to construct a histogram. Do data appear to have a distribution that is approximately normal?
state whether the parameter of interest is a mean or a proportion: a survey reports that local t news has shown a 17% increase in revenue within a two year period while newspaper revenues decreased by 6.4% during this time period.
