IQ is distributed as with most things over a bell curve. A rough distribution is that for each 98th percentile IQ increases by 30 points (SB). This puts the top 2% of people around 130 IQ, 160 would be the top 2% of those top 2%, or 0.004% of the population.

About 98% of the population.
IQ is normally distributed in the general population. Age is not.
The heights or masses of adult males, or of adult females. IQ scores (whatever they measure).
All IQ tests are standardized; there are three tests that can be taken, depending on the age of the candidate.The IQ of everyone in a given generation is always set to be normally distributed with mean 100 and variance 15. (Looks like a bell curve.)Therefore, the "average" IQ for anyone is 100.
Yes, it is.
The value of a roll of two dice is normally distributed.
...normally distributed.
NO!
No, but the approximation is better for normally distributed variables.
The sum of two random variables that are normally distributed will be also be normally distributed. Use the link and check out the article. It'll save a cut and paste.
Some examples of anormal distribution are: heights of men and women, weights of men and women, IQ's, body temperature, and many manufacturing processes to name a few.
