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.
99.6% for
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.
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.
...normally distributed.
IQ is a "Normally Distributed random variable" meaning that it follows a bell curve. This curve is centred on 100, meaning that 100 is the average value for all people. The standard deviation is 15, meaning that 95% of the population is meant to be within 70-130 for their IQ. 111, therefore, is a slightly-above-average IQ test, however, IQ tests are subject to error, and depending on the questions, you could get a different score next time.
NO!
No, but the approximation is better for normally distributed variables.
