What percentage of scores falls between 70 and 130 in a normal distribution?
A
50%
B
68%
C
95%
D
99%
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Approximately 95% of the population has IQ scores between 70 and 130. Approximately 99.7% of the population has IQ scores between 55 and 145.

Detailed explanation-2: -The 95% Rule states that approximately 95% of observations fall within two standard deviations of the mean on a normal distribution.

Detailed explanation-3: -From the graph we can see that 68% of the students had scores between 70 and 80. For this problem we need a bit of math. If you looked at the entire curve, you would say that 100% of all of the test scores fall under it.

Detailed explanation-4: -For example, given that the IQ scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, one can conclude that only about 2.3% of the population have an IQ of 130 or higher. Here is how this works.
