Question 13.12

IQ test scores. Figure 13.13 is a stemplot of the IQ test scores of 74 seventh-grade students. This distribution is very close to Normal with mean 111 and standard deviation 11. It includes all the seventh-graders in a rural Midwest school except for four low outliers who were dropped because they may have been ill or otherwise not paying attention to the test. Take the Normal distribution with mean 111 and standard deviation 11 as a description of the IQ test scores of all rural Midwest seventh-grade students. Use this distribution and the 68–95–99.7 rule to answer Exercises 13.12 to 13.14.
